Thousands to protest at Dáil over cheap labour

THOUSANDS of workers and their families will converge on the Dáil tomorrow in support of Irish Ferries staff, whose jobs are being off-loaded to cheaper agency workers.

In advance of tomorrow’s march - which is being supported by the largest 15 trade unions in the country - four of the country’s most senior trade union leaders called for all workers to participate.

The issue has already seen scheduled talks on a new social partnership deal postponed as unions demand further government action.
