I must admit a degree of confusion on this. By no means do I mean to articulate the class composition for a generation within the unions, but certainly within the above notice I feel a loss - because it asks for us to voluntertly leave our jobs and join the demo. But that seems to be a nicely articultated possibility for left bureaucrats in SITPU or those in a job for life in the sense of tradionally orangised workplaces - but when will SIPTU actively come to me and organise a leaflett and place me in a position where I can feel comfortably expressing my solidarity on this demo with out feeling isolated, vulnerable and alone - with a union with that is firing out the rethoric without the concrete organisation to back it;. Im afraid that 1:30pm is my smoke break, and untill SIPTU puts me in the prescence of mind of backing the union grassroots by organising them, from my perspective isolated in the services sector I remain non-chalent.
Would d/other please resign from his union immediately. Unions need people, not sheep.
