Irish Ferries Protest Meet Up Friday (1 Viewer)

[Shorty]

People are meeting up at 1 at disco disco on parnell square west before the march on friday, for anyone that's interested or going along to it.

 

[Sam.]

See ya there....

 

[dregin]

Me too

For or against the strike? They fucked up The Lobotomies UK tour yesterday. the lads had to cancel the entire thing at the last minute

 

[dregin]

They? Depends on who "they" is. Do you blame Irish Ferries for kicking their workforce out in favour of cheap labour or that same workforce for trying to stand up for themselves?

Why do a band need a boat to do a UK tour? Last I heard, the UK was traversible by road or have they brought the roads in and stored them in a big warehouse craggy island style?

Eh? Although I can accept that you might not accept Northern Ireland as part of the UK, I find it hard to believe that the Orkneys and the Shetland Isles are actually connected by road to the rest of the UK.

I agree they are being fucked around and they have the right to stand up for themselves. But at the same time they are getting fucked around, they are fucking around with other peoples shit too.

But they wouldnt have to fuck around with other peoples shit too if Irish Ferries got their act together which is the source on the problem.

Definatly but at the same time you are dealing with a large company. And large companys are usually owned by a load of nameless investors sitting on a beach somewhere who's only objective in life is to make money for themselves and for the people sponsering them. Its a bitch, but its the way it is.
I dont agree with people being made redundant because of wage percentages because in all actuallity they can probably do their job better than the mass of lower paid workers that are being brought in to replace them. Who it will cost a shit load to train and get them to a similar level of experience as they workers they replaced.
I have no idea who they are bringing in to replace them but as shit as it is, its the way big business's work. It doesnt have to work like that but its the tried and tested corporate way.

For the Strike of course,jeez
If Irish Ferries get away with this the other companies that are watching will also go the same way, sacking Irish workers to import cheap foreign labour.

Come on lads - this is serious. Stop talking bollocks on this thread. What's your favourite flavour Chewit?

 

[bombidol]

Im partial to the fruit salad ones. Though the extra sour ones are nice too. But all in all you can beat the strawberry. they are the heroin of sweets.
