Re: NEETU Eletricians Dispute (Eamon Devoy on Joe Duffy)
Eastern European electricians are the biggest beneficiaries of this dispute. No doubt the Ryanair flights are full of them arriving in Ireland to take the jobs of those who wont pass pickets......and at much cheaper rates that the Irish electricians.
The end result of this is that the Irish electricians will be unemployed and contractors will be reluctant to hire union members due to the risk of strike. Its a lot less risky and cheaper to hire a bunch of eastern Europeans who couldnt care less about the unions.
