Members of T&G Unite have already indicated that they will not accept yesterday’s figure of 3.2 per cent as the basis of this year’s pay talks.

Nick Corbel, the regional industrial organiser for the T&G section of Unite, said that the situation was being exacerbated by the impending introduction of GST.
