Amazing, ICTU decide to hold a national day of demonstartion only when their beloved Public Sector PEOPLE have to PAY for their own Pensions rather than the private sector WORKERS paying for them.
Didn't hear a mention of a demontration when over 100,000 private sector workers have lost their jobs in the last year or when their pensions were wiped out. Didn't hear them organising a demonstration when Waterdord Crystal workers lost their jobs or those WC workers that had been made redundant last december having their redundancy payments stopped.
No, we know where the overpaid Officals of the Unions, who couldn't care less about the 1.6 million private sectors workers, loyalty lies.
Will be hard to top the 100,000 who turned up in 2005 to protest against Irish Ferries replacing workers by paying immigrants €2.50 an hour.
The Irish Congress of Trade Unions is to begin a series of major demonstrations on Saturday, 21 February.

This will give Joe O'Toole will have something to work himself into a frenzy over.
On Q&A he said that he could not understand how anyone not in favour of universality could describe themselves as a Democrat.
Maybe he will re-announce his old plan for teachers to manage their own pension fund?
Hmm 5 replies . People seem a little underwhelmed by this 'day of protest' and rightly so imo.Its on a saturday too . Wouldnt want to inconvenience the boss eh guys? Useless clowns.
Couple of friends of mine are talking about organising a counter demonstration.
The public-sector aristocracy should be thankful they still have employment when 360,000 do not.
