Ep 20: Kevin Callinan, Fórsa general secretary - The Business Post Podcast with Daniel McConnell and Peter O'Dwyer

The ending of a public sector pay deal is a significant milestone in the diary of Kevin Callinan, the general secretary of the Fórsa trade union. As the chief negotiator on behalf of public sector trade unions, he faces the small task of securing a framework to satisfy 417,000 civil servants. The most recent public sector pay deal expired last week, with negotiations for a new agreement failing to launch. Callinan joined our head of news Peter O'Dwyer to discuss the current stalemate between unions as government, his career as a trade unionist, how the fuel protests have changed the nature of bargaining with the state and the future of work in the AI era.
