You sound like my worst nightmare - someone who would like to undermine his/her colleagues attempt to protect their pay, and would take pleasure in trying to sabotage the union to which they belong.

Be honest with yourself and your colleagues. Leave the union.
Go fight your own battles on your own.
I think I met your brother years ago, he had consequences for anyone who didn't agree with him, tell me do you beat people up or have consequences become more PC these days.

If Collina is in a union she has a vote, and a union is supposed to be democratic, do ypu understand that word.

I would suggest that this could be construed as fraud, were the terms of this plan explained to you in detail before you signed on the dotted line.

You talk crap, no employee plans to be suspended.

And it's never their own decision to suspend themselves.

You are a fascist cnt. FF scum.

They may not plan it, it should still be explained to them what happens if they are suspended, although we were discussing the union letter telling members that if they leave the union they lose their salary continuence benefit. The financial regulator might have an interest here if the policy was mis sold.

Wow thats a real insight, did you think of that all on your own

The government has signalled for the first time that it would consider reversing some element of the public service pay cuts in next year’s budget provided the savings can be secured in major reform and efficiencies.

Union leader wants to show their member that they are doing something and they are doing something to justify high salaries, even if those negotiations will fail at last moment.
Full year in expectation of cuts could cost them reelections

Second reason for restoring negotiations is to prevent split within unions.
There is no doubt that important for state public worker can escape cuts, while their less critical for society and not providing good value for money colleagues will have to pay in full. As result some union leaders could be forced to resign.
Keeping negotiations alive will allow Fianna Fail save current leader, because it will difficult to find replacement for them, which will be so loyal to Fianna Fail.

According to March, who run several schemes for public sector staff (see Marsh Ireland - Affinity Services - Voluntary group schemes), if you leave the union, you drop out of the income continuence scheme.

So if you're not a member you don't enjoy the benefits of membership? Extraordinary idea.
