NIC-ICTU Better Work: Better Lives Campaign

Northern Secretary, Gerry Murphy wrote to INTO members about the NIC-ICTU Better Work Better Lives campaign which the INTO is supporting and participating in.

The campaign is multi-dimensional and involves political demonstrations, lobbying of politicians and campaigning within the trade union movement and beyond. The aim and ambition of the campaign is to challenge three key issues:

1. The scourge of low pay (predominantly in the private sector) and insecure work across the economy.
2. The declining level of public spending on the public services we all rely on.
3. Moving beyond the 1% pay cap so public services workers can negotiate decent pay increases.
