    What do unions pay their senior staff/executives

    We always hear people like David Beggs discussing how much executives in industry get paid.

    How much do unions pay their senior staff? Do they publish the amounts and how do they compare to their average members?
    "I will remind the House, perhaps in 12 or 18 months, when prices have again increased by 25% or 30%, that they were told this by the Leader of the House" - Senator Donie Cassidy (April 10th 2008)

    most unions pay their full time officials wages that are relative to similar civil service grades,your average general sec would be on 120k ish.

    far far too much. Fat Cats that are out of touch with the reality for those they are supposed to represent.
    Actual morality is doing what is right regardless of what you're told. Religious morality is doing what you're told, regardless of if it's right.

    Except, of course, for Con Scanlon - former general secretary of the Communications Workers Union - who made several million from being the union representative on the Eircom board.

    First things first, get the surname of the general secretary of ICTU right or you'll never get a well-paid job !
