I've just heard CPSU members in An Post will be finishing at lunchtime on Friday, as their Union has very strongly advised them in the strongest manner possible, without actually calling them out, to participate in Friday's Day Of Action. They will taking a 1/2 Day's Annual or Flexi Leave.

What's the story with university lecturers?

We've heard nothing about them staying at home or walking out. Anyone got any info on this?

Any news on how much Public Transport will be disrupted? A lot of people have been asking me this. I'm expecting solidarity action from Bus, Train, Taxi and LUAS Workers. The question is will it be total, or a bit more limited? Any info would be greatly appreciated.
