Working Conditions and Skills Shortages in Tourism and Hospitality Sector: Discussion

Mr. Liam Berney:

I will speak to the point about the recommendations we made to the Government on the appropriate rate of pay for people in the sector. Several times we have mentioned the function of JLCs. The beauty of JLCs is the rate of pay is struck by way of negotiation, which comprises discussions or conversations between employers and workers. It is hoped a satisfactory outcome is achieved in that negotiation. That is the best way to determine pay and conditions in the sector, as everybody can have a shared ownership of the outcome of the negotiation process through collective bargaining.
