how would a pay cut make a person unemployed? Its only a paycut, the can still keep the job and its emigration
the truth is with all the benefits some people get off the social welfare there better off then sum jobs

Burton'S Proposals Irish Independent 27/05/2011
Employment Regulation Orders
Scrap extra payments on Sundays.
Get rid of the numerous pay rates that apply to workers with different levels of experience and skills, and replace them with an 'adult basic rate'.
The proposals suggest existing non-adult pay rates will be replaced by national minimum wage rates for under-18s and those in their first year of work. Extra pay for more skilled and experienced workers to be agreed between employees and employers at individual companies.
Introduce uniform overtime payments.
Cut the number of Joint Labour Committees that make Employment Regulation Orders by about half.
Allow deals by unions and employers outside legally binding system.
Allow companies to avoid paying the legally binding rates by pleading 'Inability to Pay'.
Average pay rates in the country's trading partners and other competitiveness issues to be debated before making new orders, or changing existing ones.
Each Joint Labour Committee must do a "health check" of existing orders, and revise them if needed under new criteria.
Registered Employment Agreements
All parties may not have to consent to change an agreement. Unions and employers to be checked to see if they are representative, and entitled to make or cancel deals.

unouwantme2: why people get so comfortable is there looking for jobs and getting nowhere. this 4 people gets totally frustrating only so much of that you can do
Good post mate the competition is unreal out there these days to back work.
biggles90000: Totally agree it was said there a few months ago that they claim the country was on the way back up and a number of people have signed off the dole and gone back to work but the people they were talking about were the ones the left the country to find work they never give a straight the point answer on anything.
they spoke about a jobs innitiative at beginning of year, where is it? it seems to me there all talk and no balls, they follow thru with nothing biggles90000: Totally agree it was said there a few months ago that they claim the country was on the way back up and a number of people have signed off the dole and gone back to work but the people they were talking about were the ones the left the country to find work they never give a straight the point answer on anything.
those were seasonally adjusted figures and they jumped on the chance to make them headline news to make themselves look good

Yep they and its our own fault mate because we vote them in every year to repersent us.
biggles90000: Oh of it course it was but was the point of pulling the wool over our eyes and trying to make us believe that everthing is going ok when is not.
I've no sympathy for anybody that voted Fine Gael. (I'm not accusing you Biggles!
)Mesimarja: I'm still here
Yeah, I'm hoping that most of the ones that headed off were men!

To be honest mate i went left wing this year
was sick and tired of been lied to.biggles90000: To be honest mate i went left wing this year was sick and tired of been lied to.
I voted Sinn Fein - imagine my disappointment!

I dont think they were trying to pull the wool over anybodies eyes, any reduction in unemployment figures is good news, They made no secret of the fact that unemployment was down due to emigration and seasonal circumstances, any news report I saw always mentioned that at the very end, dropped like a bombshell
delamer: I voted Sinn Fein - imagine my disappointment!
The only reason why i voted left wing is because they were the only ones brave enough to come to front door looking for a vote.
