Shannon air-traffic controller strike

This bickering is pathetic.

Marching will do no good. The politicians are ignoring it.

It is much better to prevent airports from functioning by preventing staff fom getting in and/or convincing staff and/or their unions not to allow the planes to enter the country, and if they do not to refuel or resupply them.

Of course the SP have little impact among workers, the SP is a very small organisation. I make no apologies for that.

Pat, if you are around tomorrow at the demo, I am going to take up these points and your vitriolic crap against the SP with you in person.

"Pat I am fucking sick and tired of your crap. The SP are not armchair activists, if you had bothered to get away from your keyboard you would have seen that the SP have been very active in the anti war movement."

I have proven that i am not an armchair activist, you are an anonymous fool.

Why wont the SP puiblically defend their inaction?

"Maybe the SP didn't lobby the ICTU conference because we had no delegates or were involved in other work. Maybe you could have considered this? We can't be everywhere at everytime. You are just absolutly ridiclous. "

This is nonsense. The SP voted against the lobby at the IAWM meeting last sunday. You dont have to have delegates at a conference to lobby it.

"If I got on and kept on saying that Pat Corcoran didn't do this and didn't do the other you would be going mad and denouncing me as a mad trot. But when you do it it is ok. Pat you're a fool"

The SP have counterposed strike action to Direct ACtion. Your attempt at insults are pathetic.

"You really do have an irrational problem with the SP, my advice is that you need to seek some help."

once again the SP show that they wont answer questions, they just resort to personal abuse.

this is their bread and butter you are talking about. The Shannon stovers are in their interest as it generates business and jobs for them.
It's the same for anyone who works in the region. I guess you could say that you are barking up the wrong bush.... (yeah I know, stolen from Homer Simpson)

Why did they refuse to lobby the ICTU conference?
