Out in St Ronans Clondalkin yesterday!

Out in St Ronans today with our Red Network newsletter.

Chatting to people about the council rent hikes and the fact that the council neglect working class areas. We need to put workers in the driving seat of our councils rather than unelected unaccountable bureaucrats.

Jack Chambers says there's no money for nurses, firefighters, street cleaners and teachers but he's quietly gone and approved pay hikes for state and semi-state bosses!

We need all out coordinated strike action to wipe the smirk off his face!

The government says the budget will be for "people who get up early in the morning" while they're playing hard ball on public sector pay?

Nurses, firefighters, street cleaners, teachers and all other public sector workers are "up early" keeping this country going. This government doesn't represent workers, it represents the rich!

Security workers win pay increase!

Finally the news we waited for!

€15.41 to €16.15 come 28th of September.

Remember this still would not have happened if we Security didn't set up the Security Officers United campaign.

We still need to get organised and get trade unionised and still build a grassroots strategy and sitting in rooms discussing the main things for improving our work experience and training + personal safety and remembering to bring a trade union reps to disciplinary meetings and reminding Security companies to the Attack In Benefit for Security injured in the course of their duty.

Celebrate and still look at the bigger picture! ✊✊✊
