Public Servants Need Not Worry

Anonymous said...: Kenny should grant a pay increase ONLY in exchange for:

a) A hiring freeze in the teaching population.

b) Replacement of retirees or, God forbid, dead teachers by ONLY graduates of universities, and raising the standard of qualifications for entry into the teaching profession, and thereby reduce the intake of less qualified recruits into the training college.

c) Make automatic annual increments a thing of the past, with a qualifying bar for granting any increments, which would be based on learning a foreign language and passing a qualifying externally-administered exam in IT.

d) Back-load any wage or salary settlement increases, easing the financial outflow burden on the treasury during the first few years of the life of any new collective bargainig agreement, but tying the rate of settlement to productivity increases in the economy, meaning, what the economy can safely bear.; December 18, 2012 at 9:20 AM
