Public service pay talks to resume amid strike threat

Teachers' unions have warned that low wages and spiralling living costs are driving teachers out of Ireland.

Public service pay talks are to resume next week as multiple unions threaten strike action over the cost-of-living crisis.

The Workplace Relations Commission invited unions and senior Department of Public Expenditure and Reform officials to resumed talks on public service pay on Monday afternoon, the Irish Congress of Trade Unions’ (ICTU) Public Services Committee (PSC) confirmed.
