Oh.
The Irish Congress of Trade Unions Biennial Delegate Conference opens today in the Assembly Rooms in Belfast, and runs until Thursday. It will see over 700 delegates and observers debate different motions regarding the economic crisis, reform of trade union structures, workplace rights and equality.
The theme is Decent Work, Better Future.
From ICTU:
“Delegates will debate key motions on the economic crisis that call for “an end to the failed deflationary policies which for five years have depressed domestic demand and prevented growth”, and demand the introduction of a sustained programme of investment to create jobs and for Ireland to sign up to the Financial Transaction Tax.”
Ah.
