Jump To Comment: 7 6 5 4 3 2 1was speaking to two Waterford workers involved in the occupation at the start of the anti fees march, they're dedicated to this struggle and as long as theres a feeling for it among the workers it'll go on. We're all behind you, at the minute its inspirational to see somebody standing up, when everyone has been kicked down. its our duty to not alone support, but raise awareness of the occupation. As our posters on campus have read 'Fianna Fail bankrupt the nation, we support the occupation!'
Nice video well conducted protest--

Very difficult to get any info,rte have completely dropped it of course

Keep going strong.
You have the solidarity of more then you think.
Fair dues to you! It is past time that corporate arrogance was lanced and the subversion of the State by shits in suits was halted.
'It didn't work for Shell' - no it didn't and le cúnamh Dé it won't!
The People united will never be defeated.
Beir bua!
Excellent to see that the workers of Waterford will not be thrown out without a fight. We must all stick together in every workplace across this island and challenge the greedy employers and their cronies.
Saw your Video and have read your intro .
The Garda who made those ''political remarks '' should be hauled up and taken to task ,report him to the Garda Ombudsman ,but dont hold your breath??
Hope you got his tag and keep it for further reasons to make your point , and thats whats supposed to be protecting the Tax Payer ???
The whole country is watching your present dilemna so keep the cool make your point and then put the boot in , thats the way forward ,its not your fault
of course that the Government ,our employees remember , is full of Morons, more likely the fault of the clowns who voted The Gangsters into office in
the first place , As For Martin ''computer '' Cullen leave him To God , and we will play God At the Next General Election , Or in June 09 .
Good Luck Ladies And Gentlemen of Waterford /Wedgewood .
