opinion/analysis
 Friday March 12, 2004 20:43 by NBRU - NBRU (Dissident) Clontarf Garage, Dublin 3
 Sad day for Trade Unionism Absolutely disgraceful. That's the only way to The National Bus & Rail Union (NBRU) publicly confirmed on the radio this morning (Friday 12/03/04) that they (The NBRU) won't be supporting SIPTU's official 24-hour strike next Thursday and they are telling their members (us) to work normally next Thursday (Strikebreaking!). They all but told us to pass SIPTU's official pickets at bus and rail depots next Thursday. Where's the solidarity? No Union solidarity here. No wonder the NBRU are losing members in CIE to SIPTU. Part of the problem with the NBRU now is that the General Secretary of the NBRU, Liam Tobin, and the Assistant General Secretary, Michael O'Flaherty, are both ardent Fianna Failure supporters. Time to reclaim the NBRU, like the rest of our Unions. That's why we need grassroots, rank and file organisations like the Busworkers Action Group (BAG), and why the Busworkers Action Group should be supported. |
