To date the ICTU's rhetoric has been anti-austerity in their 'Better, Fairer Way' campaign yet when it comes to an EU treaty that will impose austerity as the legal economic doctrine for the country they can't seem to make up their mind. Unfortunately the pro-imperialist 'redmondites' looking for the crumbs off the EU's table seem to cripple the ICTU's decision making body. Even the EU funded and blatantly europhile ETUC has come out against the treaty.
Its time time pick your side ICTU.
CONGRESS TO MEET AGAIN ON FISCAL COMPACT & PROPOSED REFERENDUM
9 Mar 2012
The Executive Council of the Irish Congress of Trade Unions has agreed to reconvene at a later date in order continue its discussions on the Fiscal Compact and the proposed referendum.
At today's meeting the Executive Council heard a number of presentations on the key issues, including from economist Karl Whelan and from Bernadette Segol, the General Secretary of the European Trade Union Confederation (ETUC), to which Congress is affiliated.
Executive Council members agreed that a detailed briefing paper would be drawn up on Fiscal Compact and the proposed referendum, which would be used to inform and shape debate across the trade union movement.
No date has yet been set for the convening of another meeting.
