Unions condemn plans to break-up CIE and Aer Rianta

UNIONS have condemned Government plans to break up CIE and Aer Rianta.

However, despite threats from delegates, Irish Congress of Trade Unions (ICTU) general secretary David Begg warned workers against taking extreme action.

During a sometimes emotional debate on the issue at the ICTU conference, Mr Begg pointed to the failure of the farmers’ tractor protest to make any real impact.
