4 unions against the treaty


Four major unions across both the public and private sector are calling for a No vote from their members to the permanent austerity treaty.

Mandate, Unite, TEEU and the CPSU have alll taken this positive position for their members and for the country.

This treaty will legally impose permanent austerity as Europes economic policy rendering parliaments and national governments powerless.

This treaty imposes budgetary measures, targets and penalties that will mean increased household charges and water charges, increased hospital bills and reduced social protection. If the interest on irish borrowing goes up then this will have to be paid for out of education and health budgets.

It is clearly putting the needs of big business ahead of any consideration for ordinary working people and families. It is time to tell those who created the crisis, NO. We will not be bullied or blackmailed.
