Why don't the English count as an ethnic minority in Wales and qualify for extra cash? Because they're white, says Steven Tucker. But the experience of the English in Wales gives us a picture of our UK-wide future.

National Rally & March for Justice in Support of the TEEU Strike at Green Isle Foods, Naas - 12 noon

category national | worker & community struggles and protests | news report author Monday March 01, 2010 22:40author by Paula Geraghtyauthor email mspgeraghty at yahoo dot ie Report this post to the editors

Hundreds marched to the Green Isle factory where TEEU members have been on strike and two men have begun a hunger strike.

The TEEU is in official dispute with Green Isle Foods, Naas since August 2009. This dispute is
to have three wrongfully dismissed members reinstated. Management at Green Isle still refuses to engage with the TEEU, LRC, NIB, or accept the Labour Court Recommendation that states: The dismissals were unjustified and called for the reinstatement of the dismissed workers. This is despite the company having accepted Irish State Aid to the tune of €43,000,000.

The ICTU has granted the Congress All-out Picket, while British strike breakers have left
the company after being arrested for public disorder offences including serious assault,
Irish scabs hired by Green Isle through recruitment agencies have replaced them since.

HUNGER STRIKE
Through insufferable frustration the striking workers have decided to embark on a Hunger
Strike. Starting on Wednesday 17th February the Electrical Shop Steward will commence the
Hunger Strike outside the plant. He will be joined by another striker one week later, then
another and so on, to heighten awareness of their long running dispute and to secure the
reinstatement of their wrongly dismissed colleagues.
