SIPTU, the largest affiliate of the ICTU confederation, has launched a campaign against what the union calls the government's plans to reduce the incomes of the lowest paid workers. SIPTU Divisional Organiser, Patricia King, launched a publication outlining how the government proposes to reduce the incomes of workers whose pay rates are set by Employment Regulation Orders (EROs) and Registered Employment Agreements (REAs) and also threatens to reduce the National Minimum Wage of Euro 8.65 an hour (See also this Collective Bargaining Newsletter Year 3 January 2010).
