"And a shop stewards committee that meets management to demand better conditions is being subsumed into capitalism."
Save that sort of arrogance for your own supporters D_D . The Troika only takes it seriously to the extent that it needs left militant-sounding caricatures like the ULA to channel opposition along safe , parliamentary lines .
The ULA delegation “demanded” better condition from the Troika according to D_D . If the Troika is “management” and the ULA the shop steward’s committee where do the government and the Dail come into the equation ?
