out of work and wanting a union job.
he was seen walking the streets,
he was starving,and begging.
cap in hand he rang for a card,
the hall rang the garda,
mingos a broken man,
and thats how the dynamic duo{gerry and nev } left him
but as a wise man said"from caos comes order".
has nev become a subby????
Why are the trade unions not supporting this protest?
What happened to the eastern european worker who was assaulted by protesters in a nearby shop?
"We want to see no charges brought against peaceful protesters."'
should i take this to mean that boyd barrett condemns protesters defending themselves (and the picket) against state violence? answers on a postcard.
"(a) The grievance or dispute shall in the first instance be discussed between the parties concerned. If the dispute is not resolved within 3 days it may be referred to the trade union concerned and, where appropriate, the Construction Industry Federation (CIF). Notice in writing of the dispute shall be given by the individual concerned or his trade union to the CIF."
So what happened then?
You can find the terms of the registered employment agreement for the construction industry at the link below. It is a legally binding agreement between the building unions and the construction industry federation, of which collen is a leading member. The relevant section is section 10 b which i am reprinting here:
10. ENGAGEMENT OF SUB-CONTRACTORS
The parties agree that contractors and sub-contractors covered by the Registered Employment Agreement for the Construction Industry should be free to engage approved contractors in any trade or activity in the industry. For the purpose of this agreement, approved sub-contractors are defined as follows: -
(a) They must comply with the terms of the Registered Employment Agreements for the industry.
(b) They must employ the appropriate grades of trade union labour.

Hi, I've just read the article relating to the Ballybrack 3 and the construction stand off on Foster Avenue. Can someone tell me exactly what law is being referred to in the following quote:
"Collen are obliged to employ trade unionists under a legally binding employment agreement in the construction industry. "
Links to a published version of this agreement please? Or where can a copy be obtained?
Thanks
