Description
Arising from the recommendations of the Low Pay Commission and following the introduction of the new minimum wage rate, your union engaged with eir seeking increases in line with the revised rates. I am pleased to confirm some of our members in eir retail will benefit from increases to their basic pay rates as follows:
| Role | Current | New |
| Retail – Full-time | 21,632 | 22,996 |
| Retail – Part -time | 10.63 p/h | 11.30 p/h |
Changes to the minimum wage were introduced based on recommendations from the Low Pay Commission.
The Irish Congress of Trade Unions (ICTU) nominees for the commission includes CWU Head of Organising, Fionnuala Ní Bhrógáin, who made representations on behalf of the workers we represent in eir, among others.
These changes came into effect on the 1st of January 2023 and members will gain from these improvements in the January pay cycle.
