NUJ Says Tá To Rnag Pay Deal

NUJ members at the Irish language station Raidió na Gaeltachta (RnaG) have welcomed an agreement with RTÉ, marking the end of an unfair two-tier pay system within Irish public service broadcasting through the assimilation of staff onto the standard RTÉ radio grading structure.

Under terms put forward by RTÉ in an industrial relations tribunal (IRT), improvements have been made to a structure put forward by management. The chapel voted tá (yes) to the new agreement, which allows all RnaG staff to benefit from two incremental payments in June of this year.

The NUJ and sister union SIPTU had referred the case to the tribunal to secure improvements to a transfer scheme unilaterally announced by director general Kevin Backhurst in 2024.

Both unions felt that the scheme did not go far enough in addressing the inequitable system in operation since the Irish language service started in 1972.

Séamus Dooley, NUJ Irish secretary, said:

Vótáil tá do Raidió na Gaeltachta socra íocaíochta

Tá baill NUJ ag an stáisiún raidió Gaeilge, Raidió na Gaeltachta (RnaG), tar éis fáilte a chur roimh chomhaontú le RTÉ a chuireann deireadh le córas éagórach íocaíochta dhá leibhéal laistigh de sheirbhís phoiblí craolacháin na hÉireann tré asamhlú na fóirne go dtí an struchtúr caighdeánta grádála raidió RTÉ.

Faoi téarmaí atá curtha chun tosaigh ag Bínse Caidrimh Thionscail (BCT) RTÉ, tá feabhsuithe déanta ar struchtúr a cuireadh chun tosaigh ag an mbainistíocht.

Ligeann an comhaontú d'fhoireann iomlán RnaG leas a bhaint as dhá íocaíocht incriminte i mí an Mheithimh i mbliana.

Sheol an NUJ agus an deirfiúr-ceardchumann, SIPTU, an cás chuig an Bínse Caidrimh Thionscail chun feabhsuithe a chinntiú ar scéim aistrithe a fógraíodh go haontaobhach ag an Stiúrthóir Ginearálta, Kevin Backhurst, i 2024.

Bhí an dá cheardchumann den tuairim nach ndearna siad go leor chun dul i ngleic leis an gcóras éagórach atá i bhfeidhm ó thosaigh an tseirbhís Ghaeilge sa bhliain 1972.
