Trade Unions should show they mean it

Practical things to oppose war

ICTU and many unions have made statements or taken part in demonstrations against war. To-date they haven't done much. It's time to show they're serious.

For starters SIPTU should put up anti-war banners in the windows of their various premises - Liberty Hall (Dublin) and Connolly Hall (Cork) are often used to put up slogans for the Labour Party during elections - why not put up "No to War" at this urgent time. Both are key city centre locations passed by thousands of motorists and pedestrians every day. Other union premises may also be suitable (ICTU in Parnell Square, MSF, Mandate, etc).

If you're serious you should make an effort.

have called for general strike and work stoppages.
In Spain and Portugal the unions which represent the trasport workers of rail, bus and metro services have confirmed that there will be a pan-Iberian withdrawl of service from 12h00-12h15 tomorrow.
Italy is doing like wise

"There will be a lobby of The ICTU Special Delegate Conference on Pay on Wednesday 26th March starting at 10.00am outside Liberty Hall. All the officials from the national union head offices and Delegates from around the country will be present. Could you manage to get there to leaflet delegates from 10am on, the conference starts at 10.30am."

Come along and make that point to them.

remember that Microsoft is on the boycott list.
as are all British American and Spanish tabacco companies.

but importantly the warnet is operating on a Unix system developed by the Pentagon.

the boycott of internet may well be difficult for some! :-)

O bella ciao - Lyrics

Una mattina mi son svegliato...
O bella ciao, bella ciao, bella ciao ciao ciao
Una mattina mi son svegliato ed'ho trovato l'invasor

O partigiano, portami via..
O bella ciao, bella ciao, bella ciao ciao ciao
o partigiano portami via, che mi sento di morir

E se io muoio da partigiano..
o bella ciao, bella ciao, bella ciao ciao ciao
e se io muoio da partigiano, tu mi devi seppelir

E seppellire lassù in montagna..
o bella ciao, bella ciao, bella ciao ciao ciao
e seppellire lassù in montagna, sotto l'ombra di un bel fior

E le genti, che passeranno..
o bella ciao, bella ciao, bella ciao ciao ciao
e le genti, che passeranno diranno "o che bel fior"!

E questo è il fiore, del partigiano..
o bella ciao, bella ciao, bella ciao ciao ciao
e questo è il fiore, del partigiano, morto per la Libertà!

E questo è il fiore...del partigiano...morto per la Libertà!
