	Irish unions show their strength
		The union members turned out in force in support of Irish Ferries workers who had occupied two vessels in Pembroke Dock and Holyhead for three weeks, having foiled an attempt by the company to forcibly remove the mainly Irish crew and replace them with immigrant workers who would be paid half the Irish minimum wage.
		Irish Ferries agreed to pay immigrants the legal Irish minimum wage of 7.65 euros an hour (as opposed to the 3.60 originally offered) but they will continue to “outsource” crews, meaning they will be able to replace unionised crews with non-union labour.
		The notion that the laws of the Irish capitalist state will protect workers — immigrant or Irish — is a deadly illusion, cut from the same cloth as the myth that there can be “partnership” between workers, bosses and the government.

	funferal: Irish Ferries dispute threatens 'partnership' process (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
		Now we're seeing those risks manifest themselves in the ferry industry, where the dominant company, Irish Ferries - owners of the aforementioned Ulysses, the largest car ferry in the world - have decided to 'reflag' their ships with 'flags of convenience' - Cyprus, to be precise - and thereby evade Irish employment law.
		Workers on the ferries are now barricaded on board, looking for security staff and agency staff to be removed (the goons have been removed just before I wrote this piece), and the ships are stranged in Welsh ports.
		I'm unsure how much traction the issue has among the Irish public at the moment, or whether the tension will continue to build, but it seems to have the sort of resonance that can gain public sympathy and give the unions some extra pull in the complex dance that is industrial relations.
