In the 2017 Public Service Stability Agreement (PSSA), the successor to the Lansdowne Road Agreement, the government committed to examining the issue of ‘new entrants’, those recruited since the 2011 pay-scale changes. As part of the austerity measures of 2011, the pay scale of new recruits to the public service was reduced by 10 per cent. Within the Education sector, allowances – for example, for qualifications – were also significantly reduced, resulting in an even greater disparity between preand post-2011 recruited colleagues. This issue is referred to as ‘equal pay’, the implication being that there should be ‘equal pay for equal work’. Following negotiations, in September the government put forward proposals providing for new entrants to skip certain incremental points on their pay scale so that they would ultimately catch up with colleagues. However, the lower starting rates remained and allow ances were not reinstated. According to Miley (2018a), this left the three teachers’ unions – the Teachers’ Union of Ireland (TUI), the Association of Secondary

在兰斯当路协议的继任者 2017 年公共服务稳定协议 (PSSA) 中，政府承诺审查“新进入者”的问题，即自 2011 年工资表变化以来招募的人员。作为 2011 年紧缩措施的一部分，公共服务部门新聘人员的薪酬水平降低了 10%。在教育部门，津贴（例如，资格津贴）也大幅减少，导致 2011 年前和 2011 年后招聘的同事之间的差距更大。这个问题被称为“同工同酬”，意思是应该有“同工同酬”。在谈判之后，政府在 9 月提出建议，规定新进入者可以跳过工资表上的某些增量点，以便他们最终赶上同事。然而，较低的启动率仍然存在，并且没有恢复允许。根据 Miley (2018a) 的说法，这离开了三个教师工会——爱尔兰教师工会 (TUI)、中学协会
