Since 2009, the public sector has been subject to pay freezes and across the board cuts as a part of the Croke Park Agreement, which has been repeatedly reported in this newsletter. In recent months, as the economy started to recover, trade unions have been demanding pay restoration. Minister Howlin has now flagged the government’s interest in starting to address the loss of purchasing power by civil servants. The minister indicated that the pay growth would not compensate for all losses, but would be a start on the road to restoration.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp align=\"left\" class=\"CM3\">English: http:\u002F\u002Fwww.impact.ie\u002F14\u002F08\u002F11\u002FPay-recovery-negotiations-flagged-for-2015.htm\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp align=\"left\" class=\"CM3\"> \u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp align=\"left\" class=\"CM3\">\u003Cspan class=\"discreet\">For more information, please contact the editor Jan Cremers, Amsterdam Institute for Advanced Labour Studies (AIAS) \u003Ca href=\"mailto:cbn-aias@uva.nl\">cbn-aias@uva.nl\u003C\u002Fa> or the communications officer at the ETUI, Mariya Nikolova \u003Ca href=\"mailto:mnikolova@etui.org\">mnikolova@etui.org\u003C\u002Fa>.
