Jump To Comment: 4 3 2 1After labour court decisions yesterday and a SIPTU meeting today, it appears the industrial action planned for Monday 11th September has been postponed. It seems that some of the issues which led to the strike are being discussed.
Young kids going to college are not being given a fully rounded education.
They are brainwashed into becoming consumers and wage slaves and indoctrinated with the notions of free market individualism rather being opened up to socialist class consciousness or the moral virtues of communal society, sacrificing their lives for the world's poor and opposition to capitalism, militarism and sexual descrimination.
This is a good development. I hope that SIPTU activists at UCD are using the dispute to recruit and build the union for the future, as well as winning the campaign at hand.
