FF councillor claims politicisation by unions

A FIANNA FÁIL politician accused “well-paid” union bosses last night of politicising the public service in their campaign for the reversal of pay cuts.

Cllr Terry Shannon, the leader of the party’s group on Cork City Council, was speaking during a blistering attack on union leaders who have instructed their members not to deal with certain politicians.

SIPTU and Impact have instructed their members not to deal with TDs, senators and councillors who the support pay cuts.
