Jump To Comment: 1 2 3We have a day off because the banks are on holiday? I don't think so ...
Its time to regain control, to reshift the focus, to get it back into perspective. Erase the bank holiday.
Let's have the pure and simple Public Holiday, or perhaps Citizens Holiday.
The way to end being a servant is to stop serving.
Petition your TD, your councillors, everyone you can think of. Change won't come unless we make it.
I agree with the last poster that "Change won't come unless we make it." , but all this business about contacting your councillors and tds , isn't that handing over the responsibility for making change to other people ?
The fact that no Mayday march took place in Dublin this year can only mean that the trade union and labour leaderships in this country have abdicated responsibility for mobilizing workers at a time when workers' conditions are under threat of decimation as a result of the financial crisis .
The time has surely come for workers to take the initiative themselves for organizing such events - at grassroots level . For next year I'd like to see the mayday celebration renamed : it should be called a strike .
"The fact that no Mayday march took place in Dublin"
There is a Mayday March in Dublin this year, it's on this saturday, see the link below. This isn't to say that the usual lack lustre attendance and promotion of it as well as the fact it's not held on May 1st itself or even the mayday weekend most of the time isn't highly problematic. In fact, imo it's part of the problem with it being so badly attended and dispirited, you'd almost think it was done on purpose.
