Tyndall jobs to be evaluated over pay disparity

The jobs of all employees at Cork’s Tyndall Institute are to be evaluated to ensure that they are all earning the correct rate of pay.

Two unions, Siptu and the Irish Federation of University Teachers, have been engaged in a prolonged battle to have pay disparity of up to 50% between staff in the Tyndall and University College Cork addressed.

Members of both unions have threatened industrial action over their grievances. They say that like all public servants, they have been hit with all the pay cuts and pension levies, but have been excluded from the benefits of benchmarkings on two separate occasions.
