Quinn’s strike ban Bill

A chara, – Gearoidín O’Dwyer is disappointed by Senator Quinn’s attempt “to criminalise workers who wish to defend their pay and conditions” (December 10th).

While workers may have a right to defend themselves, society also has a right to defend itself against those who threaten to cut off its heat, light and electricity in the dead of winter; and I would be disappointed if our elected representatives did not act to do so. – Is mise,
