Three LPC members opposed size of minimum wage rise
The employer representatives on the Low Pay Commission said they would have supported a 20 cent per hour increase
The threeemployers' representatives on the Low Pay Commission (LPC), which this week recommended a 30 cent per hour increase in the national minimum wage (NMW), opposed the move, saying it took "insufficient regard of the views of the people who will actually have to fund the proposed increase, namely employers, big and small, right across Ireland".
Tom Noonan, the former chief executive of Maxol and a former president of employers group Ibec, Vincent Jennings, the chief executive of the Convenience Stores and Newsagents Association and director of Tralee-based human resources consultancy The HR Suite, Caroline McEnery, attached a minority report to that ofthe LPC, dissociating themselves from the recommendation.
