Please forward to any students you know


Free Education for Everyone (FEE), a student group fighting the reintroduction of fees and cutbacks in third level education, is calling on all secondary and third level students to join the ICTU National Demonstration this saturday to show solidarity with all workers facing pension levys, job losses and pay cuts.

The Irish Congress of Trade Unions (ICTU), the umberalla group of 55 unions representing about 600,000 members in the Republic of Ireland, has called the February 21st protest the “first step in a rolling campaign of action” against the government’s proposed public sector pension levy.

FEE are calling on all students to meet at 2pm at the Jim Larkin statue and to then line O’Connell Street with banners and placards.

An injury to one is an injury to all!
No to third level fees! No to the pension levy!
Workers and Students unite to fight the cutbacks!

Inspiring mobilisation - what chance now of a general strike?:)

The Irish Congress of Trade Unions has called on its members to begin balloting for a one day strike on March 30th, encompassing the entire public sector and any private sector companies that are refusing to pay wage increases under the national wage agreement.

There was also a one day strike yesterday called by the Civil & Publin Ssrvice Union which is the union for lower grade civil servants.

Public transport workers were supposed to be going on strike this weekend but it's been postponed for talks in the Labour Relations Commission. The NBRU had called for a one day strike on Saturday and SIPTU had called for an indefinite strike from Sunday.
