The reins wil have to be pulled in on public sector pay .Private sector will have job losses and payrises are going to stagnate for the next 2 - 3years.
A champion of the people emerges with the age-old and appealing promise of "something for nothing" - to be financed through every-increasing taxes. Supply and demand are thrown out of gear - the overhead goes up; the effective use of human energy goes down; the standard of living is lowered because money cannot buy wealth that is not produced.
WEAVER, HENRY GRADY,
People who can afford it, such as IBEC CEO's, could pay more tax. How can you seriously ask low to middle income public sector employees to accept a pay freeze when the cost of living continues to spiral out of control and while the likes of Brendan Drumm and other State employed CEO's have recieved huge pay increases.Originally Posted by FrankSpeaks
Where do you intend getting the money to pay for increases in public sector pay, the again I suppose socialists don't mind paying more taxes.Indeed.Will they be practicing what they preach with a call for executive pay freeze?
...didn't think so.
IBEC calling for wage controls is not news, calling for limits on speculation, profiteering and excessive executive (and government) pay...now THAT would be news.
I don't imagine many IBEC members are struggling to pay mortgage, utility, or food bills.
F.cuking hypocrites.
Well said FT fairplay.No more vote buying.

The number of business executives is vastly outnumbered by the number of public servants. How can they alone pay for increases in public sector pay its mathematically impossible.People who can afford it, such as IBEC CEO's, could pay more tax.

So public sector employees should be punished for the business failures of the private sector?
You don't need pay cuts to save money from the public service.
It was the insane gambling of businessmen on property that helped get us into this mess, don't' expect the rest of us to pick up the bill for them.
Eveyone pays taxes, and us great unwashed don't have dozens of loopholes to get out of payin it.

pay restraint and the likes almost a contast mantra from IBEC and related organisations, just as in the same way that ICTU and co are constantly calling for pay increases, etc, so in and of itself i'd not be overly concerned about what either vested interest pressure group says.
what is important however is that recession or no, benchmarking and its ilk have driven up pubic pay costs considerably and often without any of or much of the productivity increases that were factored into the benchmarking process. there needs to be serious restraint shown by all, espically those in as secure employment such as the public service, particularly considering that its working in the private sector that will take the brunt of the wage freezes, pay cuts, and redundancies.... whilst those in the public sector face far less security risks
