Joint Oireachtas Committee on Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation
Cost of Living, Minimum Wage Increases and Report of Low Pay Commission: Discussion
Mr. Gerry Light:
That remains one of the key campaign targets for ICTU and, indeed, Mandate in the current year until we achieve a more favourable position with collective bargaining. There is no doubt that with the existence of a statutory right to collective bargaining, and we mentioned it in our submission, along with proper access to workers, one can start to meaningfully tackle low pay, whether within the unionised or non-unionised sector. That is a key target and a key objective.
