9 May 2013 Press statement: Joe Higgins TD Supreme Court ruling on Registered Employment Agreements poses need for organising drive by union movement as first step in protection of conditions Commenting on today's Supreme Court ruling that Registered Employment Agreements are unconstitutional Joe Higgins TD said: "The striking down by the Supreme Court of the REAs will be seen by employers and sub contractors as a signal for a savage attack on the wages and conditions of workers. The trade union movement should immediately declare that any such attacks will be met by all out action and must now go on the offensive to ensure that wages and conditions provided for by the REAs remain intact.

Bush – said yesterday that the Syrian chemical weapons could be a “Israeli false flag operation”. Vid and full story at link. read full story / add a comment |
