Siptu General President Jack O’Connor has predicted a wage "explosion" for thousands of its members lodging claims for pay rises over the next 12 months.

Siptu is the largest union in the country and Mr O’Connor’s comments come on the back of Bank of Ireland’s announcement yesterday that its staff voted to accept a 3.7 percent pay rise in addition to a 5 percent one-off bonus.

Following what many consider to have been a ‘soft’ Budget and economic growth continuing to rise, do you expect to get more in your pay packet next year?
