It seems like the former Tánaiste and Labour leader Joan Burton has changed her tune in recent months and is now calling for Government to reconsider their stance and introduce a “fair wage” for all.
Ms Burton made her comments whilst speaking to Newstalk Breakfast, the former Tánaiste said: “We should actually have an economy that functions and does well by fairness, so that when people get a week’s wages they’re actually able to live on that.”
“It’s not doing what was done during the Celtic Tiger, when some sections took far more of their slice of the cake than anybody else.”
Ms Burton also said she believes the Government should consider entering “round the table” talks to address the current pay crisis and improve the pay scale for everyone.
