Anti-Lisbon group makes false claims about the minimum wage and workers’ rights

I FIND it highly irresponsible that Cóir should deliberately try to derail an informed debate on the Lisbon Treaty.

Such is the inaccuracy of their claims that I feel compelled to set the record straight in relation to a number of them.

I was particularly disturbed by Cóir’s suggestion that the minimum wage could be reduced to €1.84 under the Lisbon Treaty.
