 Monday April 27, 2009 18:56 by Passenger And Private Sector Worker
 Congratulations to the Drivers from Clontarf and Harristown Garages for resisting the savage cuts to Dublin Bus Services, which will severely impact on passengers like myself. Hopefully the other Dublin Bus Garages will join in the Strike in the next day or two. Shame on the 'Unions' (SIPTU and NBRU) for agreeing to these draconian cuts, and for forcing Dublin Bus Workers to accept these cuts. This slashing of Dublin Bus Services will hit the poor, the old and the disabled the worst. To use the infamous phrase that Fianna Fáil used to win the 1987 General Election, and which they then tore up as soon as they got into power: "Cuts Hit the Old, the Sick and the Handicapped!" Hopefully this is the start of a fightback, not just in Dublin Bus, but in Bus Eireann, Irish Rail, An Post, The ESB, the Taxis, and All of Us Workers, Both in the Private And Public Sector, who are all under attack from the Government and their rich and corrupt friends in the business community, and bankers and property speculators, who are the ones who got us into this mess in the first place. If neccessary we should all go Unofficial and all take Unofficial Strikes and Industrial Action, as ICTU have quite clearly betrayed Workers and stabbed us in the back by not doing anything about any of the cuts.
