IMPACT General Secretary Shay Cody has said talks on a new Croke Park deal are moving into a much more complex and challenging phase.
Discussion this morning focused on the effect of Government plans on education.
Health unions will learn what the Coalition envisages for their sector this afternoon.
Mr Cody said the discussions affect 290,000 people who deliver a whole range of services.
He said when you start changing attendance patterns and terms and conditions it has enormous complex implications and that is what they are working through.
He said the job of trade unions is to modify the employer demand and over the next week and half that is what they are going to try to do.
Asked if he thought there would be an agreement, Mr Cody said it would be very difficult and there is no certainty but he did not think anyone would be there if they did not think they could negotiate a fair agreement.
The Government is seeking €170m in savings from weekend and evening payments.
Under the proposals, the Sunday premium would fall from double time to time-and-a-half.
Payments for working between 6pm and 8pm and for Saturdays would be abolished.
These reductions would hit take-home earnings of significant numbers of public servants, but some could be offset by savings from reducing staff numbers working at weekends and staff working extra hours.
Higher paid public servants face straight pay cuts, although the percentage or the threshold has not been specified.
Unions have called for a higher level of income exempt from the pension levy, and are concerned about the emerging two-tier workforce and outsourcing.
