Despite rank and file wishes

SIPTU bureacracy tonight have cancelled tomorrows strike on public transport. This was despite the shop steward/rank and file strike committee favouring the strike to go ahead.

This will create huge anger on the ground as the bureacratic leadership of SIPTU yet again abuse theri position and hold back the workers struggle against privitisation. Even to this day the negociations that the union leaders are engaged in are not negociating whether or not there will will be privitisation but how it will be implemented. The SIPTU bureacrats even blackmailed and underminded the CIE workers by not pushing for the NBRU to strike and deliberatly cancelling the Aer Rianta strike. It is time we got these Bureacrats out of our union! They are essentially part of the establishment and the capitalist class! For the election of all officials that will be on the same pay as workers! Get O'Connor etc out!
