A planned nationwide public sector strike on Thursday has been called off following an agreement between the Government and trade union leaders on a new pay deal for more than 300,000 workers.The proposed deal will see pay increases totalling 10.75% over two years and nine months, with 2% backpay or a minimum payment of €1,200 from September 1st.The union leadership has recommended suspending strike action, allowing individual unions to put the deal to their members for a vote.The planned strike had threatened widespread disruption to schools, hospitals and public services across the country.To discuss the agreement, its implications for public spending and the wider impact on workers, we were joined on The Agenda this morning by Labour TD for Louth and Finance and Public Expenditure spokesperson, Ged Nash.We also discussed Drogheda United being relegated from the Premier Division and found out what that means for the club.
