New €23 or €16.74 hourly wage hike for thousands of Irish people after rule shake-up in major boost for two sectors
Some seen a boost in their wages from last month CASH BOOST New €23 or €16.74 hourly wage hike for thousands of Irish people after rule shake-up in major boost for two sectors THOUSANDS of workers across Ireland's construction and security industries will be handed pay increases this month. Construction staff will also notice improved pension contributions and sick pay benefits. 2 The minimum rate of pay is increasing for construction workers and security staff Credit: Getty Images - Getty Some 46,600 construction workers will benefit from the shake-up. Advertisement From August 1, the minimum rate of pay increased by 3.4 per cent with pension and sick pay also amended. In the construction sector, a craftsperson will now see their pay hiked to €23 per hour, which kicked in August 1. A Category A worker will see their pay rise to €22.32 per hour and a Category B worker will now get €20.71 per hour. New Entrant Operative Workers will see their hourly rate go from €16.19 to €16.74. Advertisement While apprentice pay rates have also increased from the start of the month. A new Employment Regulation Order has been launched for the security sector. Around 16,000 security guards will have already seen the boost in their wages, which kicked in last month. SIPTU Security Sector Organiser, Ed Kenny, said: 'This new ERO will see the basic pay for a worker rise from €14.50 to €15.41 per hour. Advertisement 'It also sets out basic terms and conditions for workers in the sector. 'While our members welcome these increases, the implementation of this new ERO was delayed for several months. 'This was during a cost-of-living crisis that disproportionately affected workers in the security industry because of their low rates of pay.' He added: 'We will now seek to engage with employers on a successor to this ERO through the Joint Labour Committee for the industry.' 'PAID PROPORTIONATELY' Mr Kenny stressed the aim is to ensure these workers are 'paid proportionately' for the vital services they provide. Advertisement Security Officer and Senior SIPTU Activist, Christy Waters, said: 'Workers in this industry have undergone significant professionalisation in recent years which requires them to have training and qualification requirements. 'Our members believe that this has yet to be fully recognised in their renumeration.' He added: 'This new ERO has now established the legally enforceable minimum pay rates for the industry and SIPTU will continue to negotiate collective agreements with higher payments in individual companies.' Employers cannot give wages less than that outlined by the ERO. Aany breaches of an ERO are to be reported to the Workplace Relations Commission. Advertisement

The ‘underwater' trick that will keep your sunflowers blooming for longer & why vase beside the fruit bowl is a big no
Scroll down for all the top tips you should follow FLOWER POWER The 'underwater' trick that will keep your sunflowers blooming for longer & why vase beside the fruit bowl is a big no THE warmer weather this year means that British sunflowers are bigger than ever. To help people who love the bright yellow blooms, a floral expert has shared her advice for keeping cut sunflowers fresh for longer. 1 Sunflowers will last for longer in your home if you follow expert's top tips Credit: Getty With the right care you can enjoy your sunflowers at home for over a week, as these fresh-cut blooms typically last between five to twelve days in a vase. Advertisement But it all depends on how recently they were cut and the way they're maintained once indoors. Shelley Davis, flower expert at Flying Flowers, has provided her expert tips for keeping your sunflower bouquets looking their best, whether you're cutting them from your garden, picking them up in-store, or receiving flowers by post. Preparation is key Before transferring your sunflowers into a vase, Shelley suggests: 'Sunflowers typically need more water than any other flowering plant, so keeping them hydrated is essential. "Make sure to trim stems at an angle to increase the surface area for water to absorb, and if possible, always cut stems under water to prevent air bubbles from entering the plant, which can lead to early wilting and reduced vase life. Advertisement "This underwater trick is easier with sunflower bouquets than others, as they're usually displayed in smaller bunches making the process more manageable. 'Removing leaves from your sunflowers will further extend vase life, as leaves take energy away from the flower. By removing leaves, your sunflowers put all their energy into their blossoming heads.' Feed your flowers well 'Never forget to add flower food to your vase water", Shelley continues. "It provides essential nutrients to encourage the petals to open fully and prevents any nasty bacteria forming. Advertisement 'If you don't have flower food to hand, you can make some at home. Just add one teaspoon of sugar, one teaspoon of bleach and two teaspoons of lemon juice to a quarter cup of warm water. Alan Titchmarsh's top 7 plants that 'transform ugly fences with gorgeous flowers & fragrance' & they grow for years "Adding this is to your vase will have a similar effect, as the citric acid helps the flowers absorb water, the bleach prevents bacteria growth, and the sugar provides nourishment' Keep them away from fruit Next up, the flower expert revealed that placement is key when it comes to keeping sunflowers fresh for longer. She says: 'Keep your sunflowers away from ripening fruit, as it gives off ethylene gas that speeds up the aging process, causing sunflowers to wilt and decay faster. "Apples, bananas, pears and tomatoes emit high levels of this gas, so it's best to store them far apart." Advertisement Avoid direct light and heat 'You should also keep sunflowers out of direct light and heat", Shelley suggests. "Without roots, cut sunflowers can't photosynthesise properly, so they burn energy quicker. Heat also speeds up water loss, causing them to droop and wilt further. 'Find somewhere cool and well ventilated with diffused light for your sunflowers to thrive, but also somewhere where you will still be able to see and enjoy them!' Vase size matters When choosing a vase for your sunflowers, Shelley insists that "size matters". Advertisement She says: "Sunflowers have big beaming heads and the thickest stems of any cut flowers, which will benefit from a taller vase with a wide mouth to keep their height supported. 'If your vase doesn't provide enough support for heavy sunflower heads, consider using floral wire for extra stability.'
