FAI staff threaten strikeover 10% pay cut plans

Staff at the Football Association of Ireland have warned they will go on strike if management presses ahead with plans to impose a 10% pay cut and further redundancies.

FAI bosses recently informed employees they are seeking to introduce a 10% pay cut from Sep 1. They also want to freeze pension contributions and seek seven compulsory redundancies as the sports body faces an uncertain financial future.

Members of Siptu have sought talks at the Labour Relations Commission next week in a bid to head off an escalation of the dispute into industrial action.
