Jump To Comment: 1 2More of the same rhetoric. The left is faltering; it is too snug in its own waffle without strategy to cope with the massive unemployment created by this recession. Take this component of 'Blame' which suggests that the left are incompetent in becoming aware of the needs of those who are on the margins while so many in the public sector - the HSE, Education, Transport, etc fail to value that they have:- jobs, they have holidays, they have sick leave, they have over and above the minimum redundancy rights, and also they have pensions for the remainder of the ever extending lives when they retire. Take this tired line for instance .... Look to semi-state too surely Mr Higgins.
"Today's ruling is further proof that the judiciary in the final analysis contains an inherent bias against the interests of working people. Employers have allies in the top echelons of the state who are prepared to strike down the legal underpining of conditions in the private sector that exceed the statutory minimum wage.
Yes, Joe Higgins cite the Judiciary and the Employers - their inherent cronyism but why the silence about the funds that SIPTU hold (£30 million+), the SIPTU/HSE £4 million fund for junkets, the IMO massive scandal where a 52 year old (McNeice) had to be bargained down from the £24 million package he had somehow negotiated for himself to £9.7. Trade unions and their leaders need to be investigated. There are too many scandals going under the radar and if people in the public service are to be represented fairly and encouraged to strike, they first need to know what is going on within the Unions.
FAS changes its name and the findings of Shane Ross go to the abyss.
Has higgins finally lost it this case was taken by workers in the construction Industry that were going to be sent to prison by employer bodies and there freinds working in tandem with unlawful agreements the Union Lords does Higgins even know what this case is about Clown
