Union warns that LRA has run its course

One of the country's largest unions says the Lansdowne Road Agreement has run its course.

The TEEU – which represents craft and construction workers – will debate the pay deal, and discuss wages and precarious employment in a conference over the next two days.

It comes as SIPTU says it will ballot its members if the government doesn't agree to a new round of pay talks.

TEEU General Secretary Paddy Kavanagh, says emergency legislation to reduce workers' pay during the recession needs to be wound down and pay restored.
