Day of Protest at Irish Ferries

[ComradeOm]

The Irish Congress of Trade Unions has called on its members and all the people of Ireland to show their solidarity with the sorely mistreated workers of Irish Ferries and gather in Dublin on the 9th of December, this Friday. These men and women are being put out of jobs to be filled by Eastern Europeans who will have to endure much worse conditions for a fraction of the pay (in many cases half the minimum wage) while Irish Ferries has shown complete contempt for the trade union movement. It is gravely important that we register our complete disgust at the actions of this greedy and ruthless company and the government who sat back and washed their hands of the whole thing. Please tell all your friends so we can get as many out on the streets this Friday. Below is a site which will tell you all you need to know.

Edit: Meh. Wrong forum. Can someone move this to events?

Certainly, though I fear it may be late...

Not to worry. We got a fantastic turnout anyway. I reckon there were 80-90 thousand people on the streets. It could be a real tipping point for union relations in Ireland. I'll post a report if I find one.
