Two unions urge no vote

ANTI-Lisbon trade unionists met in Dublin yesterday to issue a call to private and public sector workers to vote no in the referendum.

The officials from Unite and the TEEU said it was important for workers to stand up for colleagues across Europe.

They said the trade union movement had held a vigorous debate on the supposed benefits and drawbacks to workers of what is being proposed in this referendum. The officials said there had been a wide variety of views expressed.
