Unions to hold march on refuse charges

MANY thousands of workers are expected to take part in an official trade union march against bin collection charges in Dublin this coming weekend.

The protest follows last night's meeting of the Dublin Council of Trade Unions (DCTU) where delegates voiced their support for the anti-bin charges lobby.

A motion put forward by the Technical Engineering and Electrical Union (TEEU) calling for co-ordinated action by unions against service charges was passed without question. The motion also won the support of SIPTU, the biggest trade union in the country.
