Trade Unions should show they mean it

Practical things to oppose war

ICTU and many unions have made statements or taken part in demonstrations against war. To-date they haven't done much. It's time to show they're serious.

For starters SIPTU should put up anti-war banners in the windows of their various premises - Liberty Hall (Dublin) and Connolly Hall (Cork) are often used to put up slogans for the Labour Party during elections - why not put up "No to War" at this urgent time. Both are key city centre locations passed by thousands of motorists and pedestrians every day. Other union premises may also be suitable (ICTU in Parnell Square, MSF, Mandate, etc).

If you're serious you should make an effort.
