UNIONS will today dramatically call off a national strike for next Monday in return for a restart of failed pay talks with Government and employers.

But the unions will not get any major concessions in return from the Government ahead of the emergency budget in a fortnight.

The eleventh-hour invitation into a fresh round of social partnership negotiations will allow unions to save face after a public backlash against their plans and some embarrassing votes against the action by key unions.

What an utter farce from the union fat cats.

They really don't seem to be in touch with those they claim to represent.
