Sir, - I see our TDs have set a precedent by releasing the details of their pay and expenses under the FOI Act, surely the time has come for trade union leaders to do the same. I suppose I must issue a safety warning as workers across the country might have to have their blood pressure checked after the details are released.
One wonders what fringe benefits the trade union leaders receive. Maybe on retirement they might get a well-paid job on the board of some of the top institutions in the land. But we don't want to raise their expectations now, do we? - Yours, etc.,
