Irish cleaners to receive pay increase

About 50,000 workers in Ireland's security and contract cleaning sectors are to receive pay increases under new employment regulation orders.

Under the new measures signed by minister for business and employment Ged Nash, pay for 30,000 contract cleaning personnel will rise to €9.75 per hour.

Nash urged employers in the retail, accommodation and hospitality sectors, who have so far not engaged in revised wage-setting mechanisms - known as joint labour committees - in their sectors, to do so.

He said as the economy continued to improve these employers could face a squeeze in their labour forces.

Nash made the announcement of the new employment order covering the security and contract cleaning sectors at the launch of the new Workplace Relations Commission.
