Passport office staff refusing to deal with public from 1pm tomorrow

Clerical officer. I am giving Nett rates. Add 18% to come up with a Gross figure.
(18% is the average deductions at source for all PAYE workers).

According to the CPSU website the Clerical Officer post 95 grade goes from circa €24k to €39558 - although I think you can take the 5% off those figures. I also see that in the North it goes from £14890-£17099, that is an upto 80% higher pay in the Republic at current exchange rates.

Well then we should benchmark against either Northern Ireland rates or Spanish rates. Leave the choice up to the public servants.

And yes I also believe the cost of living should come down also

Just imagine a passport office or any other public sector area that could do that. Oh wait, no unions to stop progress.

Or to stop the race to the bottom.

It is being discussed on RTÉ TV right now with Kenny. Maybe they can be shamed into doing their job, but I doubt it.

I can see people being suspended very very soon

The highest PS worker in the country kicking some of the lowest paid. Ugly stuff.

You are incapable of reading. You are a fool.

I can read perfectly well and you are contradicting yourself.

Having exposed your errors all you can do is abuse people.

The union guy is getting a good grilling here.
