ATGWU advises members to reject pay offer

The ATGWU is advising its 20,000 Irish members to reject the Government's latest pay offer.

The union's executive regional committee for Ireland has been discussing the proposal for a successor to the Programme for Prosperity and Fairness (PPF).

The Amalgamated Transport and General Workers' Union says the proposed increase of 7% phased over 18 months barely covers inflation.

The union believes it amounts to the Government asking its members to take a pay cut.
