Split up ESB to halt unions’ bully-boy tactics

No individual or single group of workers should have the power to bring this country to a halt.

Yet that is what is being threatened by Brendan Ogle, the secretary of the ESB group of unions.

Most of us had thought the days had gone when a group of workers, singularly focused on their own demands, could bring this country to its knees. That this threat is coming from the most cosseted and highly paid employees in the state makes it all the worse.
