Pay increase for councillors is a slap in the face of families and workers - Carson
Sinn Féin Councillor Arder Carson has described the pay increase for Belfast City Council councillors as a ‘slap in the face of families, workers and communities.’
Councillor Carson said:
“Councillors within the DUP, Alliance Party and Green Party have voted to give themselves a hefty salary increase of 2.75% in Belfast City Council.
“This pay increase at the height of a pandemic, and when many families and workers in our local communities are struggling financially is a slap in the face to their hardship.
