SIPTU taking unfair dismissal case against USI In a staggering display of arrogance and hypocrisy the Union of Students of Ireland (USI) top brass were found by the Rights Commissioner of the Labour Relations Commission of Ireland to have treated a former employee in a “grossly unfair” way. Matters are now coming to a head and may upset agendas for next week’s USI annual get-together. Earlier today SIPTU’s Education Branch Organiser, Chris Rowland, said that the Rights Commissioner issued a recommendation last September awarding compensation for loss of earnings. To-date the USI has failed to implement it. “Such blatant disregard for fair procedure flies in the face of statements issued by the USI demanding that employers afford workers their fundamental rights”, said Ms Rowland. |

Jump To Comment: 1The USI wants to end "the traditionally fruitless relationship" with SIPTU and join the employers' federation IBEC, because that is how the current officers like Richard Morrisroe and John McGuirk see themselves.
Gone are the days when the union would protest against corporatising and privatising reforms on campus, and Frank Milling with them. All the student leaders have joined the governing bodies and steering committees to help push reform through unopposed.
