Just got the following through. Nice to see this union recognise the differing views of parties on public pay. Not.
“The Trade Union IMPACT has issued a further circular to its members outlining actions in relation to an intensification of Phase 1 of their industrial relations dispute. In this regard I wish to draw your attention to the following paragraph of their document “In order to provide greater uniformity to the positions of public service unions the ban on co-operation with political representatives will now involve all Councillors, T.D.s and Senators. This instruction to have immediate effect. I regret to inform you therefore that the staff of the Central Area Office will be unable to deal with your political representations (written or verbal or e-mail) on this basis.”
