SIPTU protest against Irish Ferries outsourcing draws thousands

SIPTU called a protest against the decision by Irish Ferries to attempt to force current employees to accept a "voluntary redundancy package" with the aim of replacing them with outsourced workers earning approximately €3.50 an hour (less than half the minimum Irish wage).

The Nov 3rd 2005 protest in Dublin attracted a turnout of between 8,000 to 10,000 people and included members of French unions.

According to SIPTU's Justice for Seafarers campaign this is

providing us with a glimpse of the future labour market if neo-liberal zealots succeed in pushing through their Services Directive in Europe
