		Siptu has described the dispute at Irish Ferries as a test of the viability of social partnership.
		At the end of a two-day meeting in Dublin Siptu's national executive council said the Irish Ferries' plan was "an outrageous example of the acceleration of the 'race to the bottom' which is well under way in the Irish economy".
		In a statement, Siptu's National Executive Council said it was particularly disappointed at the failure of the National Implementation Body to insist on Irish Ferries adhering to the compliance clauses of the Sustaining Progress agreement.

	SIPTU & NUJ
		SIPTU is the largest trade union in Ireland and represents some 200,000 workers of all types across all sectors of the Irish economy.
		SIPTU and the NUJ argue that employees who generally will have worked for a considerable period with a licensed concern in a franchise area should be covered by TUPE in any relicensing process including situations where the BCI may decide to redraw particular franchise areas.
		The NUJ and SIPTU have raised concerns regarding the licensing process in the recent past and would welcome processes that would place transparency and accountability at the centre of the assessment process.

		If SIPTU Grassroots Forum is intended as more than just a newsletter - it was spoken of at the Galway meeting and in the newsletter as being ‘set up’ and has already organised one meeting — it was established in precisely the instantaneous manner I have vehemently opposed for a SIPTU rank and file group.

		Fulflex maintain that the SIPTU members "are on strike as they failed to adhere to current company agreements which provide procedures to deal with grievances while still at work".

	SIPTU New Directions
		In SIPTU Fightback we have worked as a newsletter that is edited by and open to people from different political parties and none, for aims that are similar to New Directions.
		Rather than organising a couple of dozen SIPTU activists on a very narrow basis, socialists in SIPTU &endash; and all those aiming for a new direction for our Union &endash;should seek to influence the couple of hundred thousand SIPTU members by involving as many activists as possible, not least those closest to them.
		New Directions and SIPTU Fightback should co-exist in harmony and cooperation for the next few months (and indefinitley after that, as publications, if diversity within unity is deemed best).

		Siptu, the State's biggest union, wants specific commitments from the Government on measures to prevent exploitation of workers before it agrees to enter talks.
		Several sources in other unions claimed last night that Siptu was wrong not to accept an overture from Taoiseach Bertie Ahern to agree at this stage to enter talks.
		Siptu did not, therefore, want them added to a "long list" of union demands, but required that they be addressed before talks began.

		In contrast to the IBEC views, he did not consider the JLC system as being adequate to regulate wage rates of atypical workers and he was also sceptical as to whether the proposed minimum wage would be set at a sufficiently high level.
		The SIPTU representative, Martin Naughton, did not believe this could be done through the JLC system preferred by the IBEC representative and favoured a national minimum wage of IR £5.00 per hour.
		SIPTU were aware that while it could be difficult to sell union members on the need for a partnership approach, many managers were equally quite unprepared to embrace such an approach.

	Socialist Voice (Apr 04) - Workplace News - South: SIPTU betrays Aer Rianta workers - An Post lockout fails
		The cancellation of the 18 March transport strike by the SIPTU officers over the heads of the Aer Rianta strike committee was a disgusting betrayal of those workers and a blow to all in that semi-state attempting to organise against the Fianna Fail/PD privatisation juggernaut.
		The SIPTU leadership blocked the Aer Rianta action in a desperate attempt to avoid the application by Ryanair for a High Court injunction.
		While a ballot is being organised by SIPTU in Aer Lingus to put the workforce in a position to take on management's increased attacks on jobs and conditions, particularly with the slashing of half the workforce in Shannon, that ballot has been weakened by the Aer Rianta betrayal.

		Again, SIPTU would argue that equal opportunity agreements covering such issues as greater flexibility, bullying/harassment procedures, training initiatives, etc. are broadly family-friendly.

		Therefore we would ask you to clarify whether it is the official position of Siptu to launch or participate in such a campaign against Sinaltrainal, a union whose only crime is to defend its members lives.
		After that SIPTU demanded of Sinaltrainal that the boycott end and threatened that otherwise they along with the IUF would begin a campaign against our union not only in Europe but throughout the world.
