" Union representatives at ESB are warning the Government against any sale or break-up of the company.
..... Brendan Ogle of Unite trade union said it is not acceptable
He is warning the Government they'll "turn the lights out" rather than let it happen. "

This is absolutely maddening. Companies are bought and sold all of the time. There is adequate legal protection for workers in such a situation.
When will we stand up and break the strangle hold that these Unions have over our country?
I am aware that parts of the ESB are very successful and I believe that selling off some sections may not be in our best interest, but this statement from the Trade Union has me fuming!!
