ConneX have just signed a Single Union deal with SIPTU (Irelands largest
Trades Union) to cover Tram Drivers on Dublins shiny new LUAS LRT system due
to begin operations next summer.
The terms of the deal as reported are VERY attractive with a starting rate
of ?29K P.A.
The "only" downside is a No-Strike clause and binding arbitration...
Now given the views expressed in this thread.....Should I be
worried....?????

Over a no strike clause? Or over exuberant pay. If the Irish are anything
like the Brits they'll ignore legally binding contracts and strike anyway,
not much you can do.
