The ideal of a Union for workers is wonderful as a paper exercise but in reality does nothing. Either you work for an ethical company or not.
The ideal of a Union for workers is wonderful as a paper exercise but in reality does nothing. Either you work for an ethical company or not.
What
the UNION really does for most companies is cause strikes and go slows when the
Management is not playing ball with them.
Will
the unions stop any redundancies should Vidrala go down that route?
The
answer is "NO".
Have
they any power to stop layoffs and redundancies and the answer is “NO".
Would
they call for a strike and once again the answer is no even if the
employees wanted to strike.
We've
seen how they behaved during the Paul O'Brien days of tyranny and they
did little to
support the workers.
Remember how UNITE had union members (dubious guys in the pay of Aventas) outside Quinn Group property even after the deal with QBRC was agreed.

All
they did was take the Dues of the workers and probably a backhander as well from
Aventas .
The community have more faith in the Local Group meeting Vidrala than any UNION.
Remember SIPTU when they had the so called Secret Bank Account that nobody knew nothing about.
Local delegates have secured a meeting with the President of Vidrala to discuss its acquisition of the former Quinn Glass business and all possibilities going forward.
It was confirmed earlier this week that the Spanish owned glass company acquired Encirc’s manufacturing plants in Derrylin and Elton as well as the filling operation at Elton for 408.6 million euro.
A local group met with QBRC yesterday to discuss their options and they’re concerns were relayed to the President of Vidrala.
A meeting has since been confirmed with the President of Vidrala for next week.
Meanwhile trade union UNITE say it is the only body that can negotiate on behalf of workers at the Derrylin plant.
They represent 70 per cent of the work force there and have also received assurances from Vidrala.
Eugene McGlone Regional Co-ordinating Officer with Unite says they are the professionals (ha Ha) and it is their role to negotiate terms and conditions for workers.(what a joke)http://www.northernsound.ie/news/local-delegates-secure-meeting-with-the-president-of-vidrala-for-next-week/
