There is a commitment under clause 16 of Croke Park I to restore pay cuts starting with low paid workers. The Government has reneged on that. Today the Government published virulent and outrageous anti trade union legislation, which does not even provide for the commitments given under Croke Park II to restore the cuts. How can any public sector worker accept that these restorations will take place or that they will be the last ask for public servants? It has not been in the past and is not provided for in legislation.
