SIPTU plans are national sabotage

SIPTU, the country’s largest trade union, is planning a series of stoppages among its Aer Rianta members at Dublin, Shannon and Cork airports to exploit this country’s presidency of the European Union.

SIPTU has ordered the first of the stoppages for next week to disrupt the meeting of EU Justice Ministers.

The actions of the union are more than a normal protest against the behaviour of the Government. What is planned amounts to national sabotage. SIPTU members among taxi owners and those employed by CIÉ have called for joint protests in an attempt to further frustrate the EU meeting.
