Jump To Comment: 1 2 3 4I applauded the protesters on Saturday and applaud and support any worker in a struggle for justice. When the injustice is perpetrated by the very organisation that should defend the said worker then I think any fair minded clear thinking Trade Unionist should do the same. Trade Unions and their leaderships in particular should be very clear why, they are where they are, and where their loyalties and priorities must be.
Myself and my friends were jus behind the siptu jack o connor. we took up what the women were shouting and shouted it at o connor and his six friends, but we added after justice... jack.
Later i asked why their were so few siptu there because this is where Larkin started. I was told there used to be countless thousands but the itgwu sacked and bargained their jobs away.
Why don't the widows and wives of Dockers start a campaign to highlight their dead husband ane who they blame for their deaths.
If my husband was sent to his death the way they say I would have a lot to say about it.
i never read the observer in m y life but i see henry macdonald has a story about arthur in it.
