Jump To Comment: 1 2 3Apologies, this is not about main post above, but about siptu.
I spoke to a couple of shop stewards attending the big siptu meeting this week in Cork. Surprising that none of them even consider supporting siptu workers in Shannon who do not want to sevice undercover CIA jets servicing clandestine interrogation centres and regularly transitting SNN. Disgracefully they say that its up to siptu members on the ground in SNN who oppose US military use of that civilian airport must themselves ask the head honchos of siptu for back up.
Surely the leadership of siptu should issue a statement indicating support of such members who do not want active collabotation in assisting illegal war in Iraq?!
Siptu should be barred from all antiwar platforms until they walk the useless talk they come out with.
Disgrace or not, banning the biggest union in the country from peace marches doesn't seem the best way to win people to the cause.
An excellent piece of work. The emphasis on the need to rebuild organisation and to take trade unionism out to the non-union sector distinguishes it from the usual anti-partnership screed. Well done, Des.
