attack

the lastest brain storm from the Minister of Social welfare one should ask Noel Dempsey what cuts has he taken with other ministers

Eammon o Cuiv Minister for social welfare latest brain storm, in forcing people on social welfare into low paid employment is obscene. openes the door of explotation.
a person recieveing 196 euro on social welfare will be told to engage in a community project for a extra 14 euro. for 20 hours a week.
can anyone tell me were else does this take place? answers to who wants to be a millionaire. Pat Kenny. Marian Finucane at RTE.
this type of explotation takes place on the streets of Bangladesh, using children, women in sweat shop industries for multinational sports companies
Eammon o Cuiv went on Rte Sunday 29 August to tell us that there was consultation with SIPTU. we have to ask a question to SIPTU. what James Connolly are they following. this extra 14 euro per week is less than 1 euro per hour.
look at the salaries of Alan Dukes 150,000 per year. the CEO of ESB 750,000
yes people are demanding employment, not to be used and abused, respect pay the proper wages one gets what one asks for
class political action is the way forward. no to intimidation of people who are unemployed stand for trade union rights
