## Resource

Garda sergeants and inspectors have overwhelmingly rejected the new expenses scheme—88.7% voted no—claiming it deviates from what was originally agreed upon after six years of negotiations. The AGSI says management misinterpreted or mishandled the rollout, and will formally notify leadership ahead of their delegate conference, where they’ll also confront serious breaches of the working time agreement, especially around key events and the European Presidency. General Secretary Ronan Clogher calls it a “serious breakdown” in staff-management relations. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
