	SIPTU - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The union was formed in 1990 with the merger of the Irish Transport and General Workers' Union and the Federated Workers' Union of Ireland.
		SIPTU is a general union which organises across the public and private sectors in Ireland and has large numbers of members working in construction, health, education, transport and manufacturing.
		In recent years the union has taken a lead in the organisation of migrant workers in Ireland and in campaigning on the twin issues of the exploitation of migrant workers, particularly those from Poland, Latvia and Lithuania, and the consequent displacement of Irish workers from employment.

	EMIRE: IRELAND - TRADE UNION STRUCTURE
		Many Irish occupational unions are structured along the lines of grade or type of staff: for example, membership of civil service unions is highly structured according to grade, and the four teaching unions respectively represent primary, secondary, vocational and university teachers.
		Professional unions are thus another form of craft union, but members of these unions would regard themselves as being of a higher status.
		The largest white-collar union is the MSF, although the general unions have a large proportion of white-collar workers in membership, and trade unions representing clerical grades in the civil service and local government may also be classed as whitecollar.

	Nolan Transport (Oaklands) Ltd. v. Halligan
		It was in the second amendment that the plaintiff sought to impeach the ballot for industrial action on the basis (a) that it was not secret, (b) that it was not carried out in accordance with the rules of the union and (c) that a majority had voted against the industrial action.
		Nevertheless, if the union bona fide believed that they had been dismissed, a trade dispute would have existed until such time as the company had clearly and unequivocally made it clear to the men and to the union that there was no impediment to their return to work.
		Halligan and the other drivers was not in truth or in substance the injustice which the union sought to remedy by (he industrial action and secondly that the true purpose of that industrial action was to coerce all of the employees of the plaintiffs into the membership of the union.

	Irish Airport Union To Target EU Presidency

	ILHM - ITGWU
		The new union was, in essence, a breakaway from the NUDL and its membership profile reflected the waterside occupations of that union.
		The union struggled both with debts of the long battle and with the defection of their leader Larkin, to America in October 1914, and continuing industrial problems as the First World War took its toll on the Dublin labour force through enlistment and death in the trenches, and rising prices and shortage at home.
		The union was active in utilising the newly established procedures of the Labour Court, inaugurated in 1946, with Cathal O'Shannon, a union nominee, as a workers' member, especially for low paid workers.

	Collective bargaining and flexibility: Ireland - InFocus Programme on Strengthening Social Dialogue
		In examining the impact of union recognition on the use of various forms of flexible working hours contracts, it is useful first of all to examine whether or not a greater proportion of union or non-union organizations have adopted these contracts since 1992.
		Although organizations that do not recognize a trade union are more likely to have increased their use of shift work, there is a pre-existing high level of shift work already existing in unionized companies.
		In examining changes in the percentage of union and non-union organizations utilizing flexible work contracts, the main finding which emerges is the increase since 1992 in the number of non-union organizations using both temporary and, particularly, fixed-term contracts (table 1.25).

	The two souls of Irish Trade Unions (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		But the principal, and unstated, issues were probably union recognition and the organisation of the newly emergent semi-casual, part-time, young (and mainly female) section of the labour force.
		A glimpse of the real potential power of the trade union movement was shown, and at the same time the fact that all the weaknesses of the unions to-day, the so-called decline in solidarity,8the inability to organise serious struggles comes from the top.
		As the trade union leadership entered into a joint economic, social and (on many issues) political strategy with the government and the employers through the National Programmes, embracing austerity in the '80s, it has now accepted a consensus approach to new management techniques and 'rationalisation', in the individual firm, embracing competitiveness in the '90s.

	SIPTU protest against Irish Ferries outsourcing draws thousands - Indymedia Ireland
		SIPTU called a protest against the decision by Irish Ferries to attempt to force current employees to accept a "voluntary redundancy package" with the aim of replacing them with outsourced workers earning approximately 3.50 an hour (less than half the minimum Irish wage).
		Unfortunately, there is a certain discrimination against some Irish people who go and look for jobs off their very own people in the construction industry since these jobs are usually packed with eastern european workers who are willing to work for less.
		The problem is that the 'left' and the union leaders are interested in co-managing the crisis not changing the balance of forces on behalf of the labour force.
