    theese beardos cloak themselves in language like , the workers , equality , fairness , all the while insisting that one section of the workforce have thier boom times wages maintained regardless of the cost to everyone else , they are charlatans of the highest order , o,connor himself is a demagogue who is right now , the most dangerous man in ireland

    I found the whole thing rather disturbing. He seems to have respect for Arthur Scargill and believes that people in unons are working in the private sector are supporting those in the public sector. The man is clearly deluded and the idea ht he has any power in this country is frankly, quite shocking.
    A little lesson on geographic and political terms for dummies :

    In fairness that makes him a rather poverty stricken committed socialist in comparrison to Spring, De Rossa and many other "leaders" of the Irish Labour movement

    For starting off as a bin man he has done well.

    I noticed another similarity to Ahern, he stutters when asked hard questions.

    He is paid by his members, and if he gets people out on the street in the next few weeks he is worth every cent, I have paid union fees for 30 years and it was well worth it

    I thought he was excellent, he wants a deal, he wants to be able to bring something back to PS workers that involves pain but also shows there is a wider context to what is happening. It is quite clear he is not going to radicalise the situation any more than is required, he is trying to prevent chaos not cause it.

    The government should wake up and stop trying to corner people. There is only a week or two to decide what way they want to play this, once partnership is finally buried it is gone for years.

    The media et al should also turn down the volume and stop trying to panic people and cause division, there is an orderly and civilised way of going about this.

    There are two ways of going about the readjustment of this economy, in an orderly agreed fashion that is as fair as possible or in a dis-organised forced way. If there is a dramatic attack on ordinary people it will not matter what jack o connor says, if he does not strike the real SIPTU will.


    I know which one I would like to see.
