Fórsa, working with the Communication Workers’ Union (CWU), recently concluded a pay deal for members in Eir. 

The deal delivers 6.5% for lower paid earners in the first year and pay increases of 11% on basic pay over a 33-month period for employees who earn up to 50,000 euro. Employees who earn up to 70,000 will receive a 10% increase. 

The current pay deal which expires in June, will see the first of the phased pay increases commence on the 1st July 2024. The deal runs for 3 years, with the last pay increase under this agreement concluding in January 2027. 

Commenting on the outcome, Fórsa assistant general secretary David Field said: “We welcome the acceptance of the pay deal which will give our members 6 pay increases over the life time of the agreement.”
