Seems that the UCD Boycott of Coke Products is turning a few heads in the boardrooms of the Multinational. IMC IRL will tomorrow be publishing an in-depth feature about these 'urban legends.
The below is a cut and paste from unison.ie
Perhaps some UCD heads should consider contacting SIPTU and arranging to meet the same high-ups as Mr Quiros. read full story / add a comment

You would think, with all the work that he has done with unions and for people with disabilities etc. that this TD would be in favour of a measure designed to protect the health of workers - whether they work in bars or otherwise. But yet we see him standing up in the Dail to speak against the tobacco regulations. Not only this, but he also tried to claim that most cancer deaths were caused by other factors! Now it is true that the Government are using this issue as a distraction from the mess they are making of the health service - and also that anti-cancer measures need a lot of work - but seeing him try and belittle the cancer-causing properties of tobacco smoke is disgusting; it reads like a script written by the tobacco industry. read full story / add a comment

I and others are receiving many calls and E- mails from supporters, community - trade union activists and other persons from around Belfast looking to provide active support for the SEA in the elections, through work in the media, finance, door to door etc. So a meeting has been called for this Sat at the Belfast Unempolyment Centre at 3pm for those wishing to lend support with others already involved. Secondly on a point of info a case is being taken by a member in Nipsa to fight against the rule that 'Restricted' civil servants of minor grades are not allowed to stand in elections. It is a disgrace that this rule stands and it is time that it is challanged in this landmark case. It will enable many persons including my self to stand in elections. We have now moved to the next phase in this. read full story / add a comment
