Quinn’s strike ban Bill

A chara, – As someone who has long admired Senator Feargal Quinn, and who campaigned to save the Seanad (a campaign led by Senator Quinn), I am most disappointed by his suggestion that there should be legislation to criminalise workers who wish to defend their pay and conditions (Home News, December 4th).

It would be better use of the Seanad, in my opinion, to support the rights of working people and to debate the new world order whereby it seems companies, banks and the wealthy must always be protected at the expense of the ordinary worker. – Yours, etc,
