CPSU call for changes to PRSI legislation

The Civil Public and Services Union (CPSU) has called on the Government and the Social Partners to agree structural changes to PRSI legislation to support family-friendly workplace initiatives.

In a motion for debate at the ICTU Women's Conference today, the CPSU said current PRSI legislation discriminated against work-sharers who are predominantly women and denied them full pension and other benefits linked to their PRSI deductions from their earnings.
