'I hope it’s dead' - ASTI chief calls for end to legislation restricting industrial action

The general secretary of the Association of Secondary Teachers Ireland (ASTI), Kieran Christie, has described Fempi legislation on industrial action by public service unions as “draconian and repugnant.”

“I hope it’s dead, we’ve been calling for its burial for years,” he told RTE’s News at One when asked if he thought it would be used against nurses who recently carried out a number of days of industrial action.
