PDForra members “are not a bunch of Red anarchists determined to bring down the State at all costs” just because they've asked for affiliation to the union umbrella body, Irish Congress of Trade Unions (ICTU).

That's the view of PDForra general secretary Gerard Guinan, who told delegates attending the association's annual conference that ordinary workers and trade unionists have shown themselves to be far more responsible in terms of the economic affairs of this country than the captains of industry and those that purport to know what’s best for his members.
