Abtran Workers Pay Claim

After a long consultative process based on meetings and surveying, Abtran IWU members are
launching a pay claim.

The pay claim is a series of targeted demands that improve the overall terms and conditions of
every worker in Abtran.
We believe that in the context of a savage cost of living crisis that we deserve pay and
conditions that give us the fair share of the profits that Abtrran makes from its many contracts
around the country.

We are launching the following demands and calling on all Abtran workers to support
them:

1. An immediate company-wide pay increase to 15 euro per hour for all staff.
2. The removal of the ‘welfare breaks’ has caused stress for us in Abtran, we are calling for
   the short 15 minute break to be brought back into the working day.
3. We are calling on the company to stop their policy of bringing workers into disciplinaries
   when they take their statutory sick pay.
4. Under the Small Benefit Exemption*, we could have gotten 1,000 euro vouchers. Instead
   we got 50. We call on the company to give us the maximum amount for Christmas 2024.
5. We want our work to be acknowledged by the introduction of a fair pay scale that
   rewards workers for their service.

The IWU membership reserves the right to take further action to pursue this pay claim, up to
and including industrial action.

In order to make this pay claim successful and make the changes we want to see in Abtran, we
call on every worker who agrees with it to join the Independent Workers Union.

*Small Benefit Exception is deductible for employers from their taxes if issued under the correct
guidelines and therefore, by design, an easier way to give workers in the company a more
generous voucher benefit instead of a taxed payroll / wage benefit.
