SIPTU, the country's biggest trade union, has warned that there will be no further national wage agreements if the next Budget does not honour all the commitments made in Partnership 2000.

In its pre-budget submission, SIPTU says the next Budget is the last chance the Minister for Finance, Mr McCreevy has to honour the commitments made under the deal.

"Last year's budget was totally inequitable and the tax package was not the one promised under the Partnership 2000, so this year is Mr McCreevy's chance to finally get it right," said SIPTU president, Mr Jimmy Sommers.
