Government considering extended aviation wage supports

Industry and Employment Correspondent The Government is considering an extended wage support scheme specifically for aviation amid fears of further job losses in the sector, according to a senior official in the Department of Transport. Assistant Secretary Fintan Towey made his comments addressing the Fórsa Services and Enterprises conference this morning. Mr Towey also said that there was a recognition across Government of the need to provide clarity on any lifting of travel restrictions before the end of May. A possible announcement in relation to this is expected in the coming week or two , he said. Mr Towey told delegates it was now evident that recovery in the aviation sector was going to lag behind the rest of the economy and that this would necessitate some adjustment in employment levels .

Unions need to become relevant to workers in tech and pharma sectors

  The trade union movement needs to move towards representing workers in the technology and pharmaceutical sectors as well as the gig economy as the groups have been effectively ignored, a union leader has said. Addressing Fórsa’s local government conference on Wednesday, its general secretary Kevin Callinan said he would “like to lead an attempt to make us relevant to these workers and to make them part of our movement”. Mr Callinan said a renewed impetus was needed to implement a plan proposed initially a decade ago to rationalise the trade union movement, which has had limited success. “Ten years on from the publication of the report on the Commission on the Irish Trade Union Movement I want us to get serious about its recommendations,” he said.
