And Public Meeting tonight

*Public Meeting tonight, Tuesday the 12TH at 7:30P.M. in the Teachers Club, Parnell Square West (Opposite the Rotunda main entrance)
*National Day Of Action next Tuesday the 19TH

Sorry for the very short notice about tonight's public meeting - But I would appeal to anyone who can make it to come along tonight to the Teacher's Club, Parnell Square West (Opposite the Rotunda main entrance) at 7:30P.M., and also to come out in force and support the bus workers on their National Day Of Action, this day week, Tuesday the 19TH. The bus workers are actively looking for support from other workers and trade unions, epecially those in our other Semi-State companies such as the ESB, An Post and Aer Rianta, and they are also looking for support from residents and community groups, as well as from ordinary joe soaps.

Basically the National Day Of Action next Tuesday will involve a nationwide 4-hour stoppage during off-peak time from 10:00A.M. to 2:00P.M., during which time there will be big marches in every major town and city in Ireland. The Dublin protest quicks off from Parnell Square at 11:00A.M. and marching down to the Dail on Kildare Street.

This is only the first phase of a long battle ahead including 1-day work stoppages in September, October and November, and a 2-day work stoppage on December 8TH-9TH, as well as an intensified campaign to really put the heat on during Ireland's six-month presidency of the European Union starting on January 1ST next, 2004.
