Jump To Comment: 1 2 3Was somebody sacked for being preganant? I never heard about that- was it Lidl or Aldi she was sacked from?
It happened recently in a Subway in Belfast. See the link for more.
It’s a sad day but Irish Unions have lost all respect because their sole purpose in life has changed. The goal of those in control has become one of lining their own pockets at the expense of workers and do nothing in return. Too many years with little or nothing to do because of National wage agreements has led to those in control having no negotiating skills and no interest in those they represent. Most of these guys are only fit to hide behind their beards and draw down big wages for doing nothing.
Ireland’s workers are protected by law regarding minimum wage, holiday’s entitlements, maternity leave and many many more of their rights. Too many company’s have the bearded shop steward strutting around the workplace doing nothing but causing problems for his employer. The same employer who gives him a weeks wages every Friday.
I don’t blame any employer for not letting them in the door as their sole purpose in life is to cost the employer more money, even to the extent of making the business unprofitable causing the loss of the workers jobs.
Time to face up to reality unions you have shot yourselves in the foot and can walk no further. Lie down and die.
