My lungs are full of Asbestos

category international | worker & community struggles and protests | opinion/analysis author Tuesday September 17, 2013 17:51author by Cara - Sackedbymyunion ex Belfast Docker Report this post to the editors

Why does Jack O'Connor and the Arts refuse to stage my Stageplay -One Big Onion

At Belfast Docks ITGWU continued the swing to the Right - which began when they sacked Jim Larkin - the same Jim Larkin that Jack O'Connor and SIPTU are honouring - with tongues firmly in cheeks and laughing all the way to the bank with their massive salaries.

It is understandable - I suppose - from a corrupt point of view, that Jack O'Connor would want to cover up the Union's behaviour at Belfast Docks - the same way they'd forgotten that they sacked Larkin. However, what is not understandable - at least to me - is why the so-called Independent and free thinking writers and actors in the Dublin Arts Scene are rowing in behind Jack O'Connor and refusing to stage my play after a successful reading of the play.

The tittle One Big Onion is a reflection of the layers of corruption within the union. Jack O'Connor heads this corruption and I'm sick telling him so at large meetings, but he won't sue me for defamation - although he threatened to do so. Then his Belfast solicitor, one John O'Neill told him I was speaking the Truth.

Ed: redacted statement

For proof of what I maintain, see my profile on Linkedin, Sackedmyunion on Twitter and the documentary
proof on www.siptupresidentjackoconnorexposed.com To put a legal face on their Union and Employers Court they put everything in writing - and unbelievably the EX UNION CHAIRMAN JIM AUSTIN was the Court Prosecutor.

WHY ARE THE ARTS ALSO CENSORING THIS PLAY.

Editor: This story has been redacted somewhat and a number of comments have been removed in relation to Hugh Murphy and Attic because many of the allegations cannot be satisfactorily substantiated. The story has been re-instated so that the focus can be shifted to the core issue which is that of exposure to Asbestos in Belfast. Any further comments in relation to Attic which are tangential to the core issue will be removed or result in the entire article being removed.
