Workers and Communities Show Their Support for Dublin Dockers on Strike A large crowd of 200-300, made up mainly of families and workers from North and South city dockland communities, showed their support for the sriking dockers today in Dublin. In a lively and positive rally, (with Luke Kelly keeping the spirits high in the background) the marchers took control of the roundabout at the plant gates, with the result that all traffic was halted as they shouted the catchcry of workers fighting back, "THE WORKERS UNITED WILL NEVER BE DEFEATED!" |

It was pointed out by a number of speakers at the rally that a scab is a scab...no matter what nationality they are.
The unfortunate wording on the flag could have been better. Was it done deliberately or just an oversight?
...on other posts with my work, you will see that Sinn Féin posters are very visible in my essays and the odd photo of Sinn Féin TD's. Having said that, I'm not a member of any political party, but I am a socialist. I am definately not a publicist for any political party, but I will promote genuine socialists in my work when I can.
One thing I don't like though is party activists purposely pushing their posters and placards in front of my camera, a habit of members mainly from the SWP and Sinn Féin.
Your criticisms are pointless and juvenile and wasting people's time. Wouldn't you rather discuss the issues and problems of workers? I don't know why I bother even replying to this rubbish!
You don't have to look too close to see certain politicians and groups, who get more than a passing mention, others are almost invisible in this report. But you'll get abused if you point out bias here, and not in the (evil) corporate media. Them's the rules
The purpose of the protest was to build Support for the striking dockers. After six weeks on strike, and with no end in sight , things are getting hard for the strikers and their families. Maybe people could concentrate on that fact and how support can be best built up, and how we can win this as soon as possible.
Looking back on the various threads on the Port workers campaign , this is the first negative , sectarian or party political comments I have found. A broad variety of activists, including some from political partys have worked together to build this support campaign. If people want to have a "our partys better than yours" pissing contest they should find somewhere else to do it, not here.
A bigger "bias" to occupy your (too much) free time Garret might be why the mainstream media is barely mentioning what is going on with this dispute.
...their are Sinn Féin placards on view and he is mentioned in the introduction.
Woould it would kill you to show a picture of O'Snodaigh or a Sinn Fein placard?
