There are wider debates to be had and there is much confusion over what precisely the situation actually is.
The IFA has spoken for better or worse and thus the RAOs are obliged to implement them. The issues are simple:
who should be setting the wage levels
should we have national pay levels
should these be based upon local authourity models of employment?
if are to have collective pay bargaining then there must be management involvement.
As things stand we have a situation which is fairly caotic situation less then a month before this major change is introduced.
As employers we need clarity.
