	A split in the Amalgamated Transport and General Workers Union (ATGWU)? (Site not responding. Last check: )
		While accepting that the ultimate decision by any group of workers as to which union they want to join is theirs and only theirs to make, there are some arguments against the formation of breakaway unions.
		The first of these is that the principal effect of such a breakaway could well be to take the minority of combative/radical activists out of the old union, thus leaving the rest of the members totally at the mercy of the bureaucrats whose anti-democratic behaviour had initially provoked the split.
		Both the Irish Transport and General Workers Union (ITGWU) and the Federated Workers Union of Ireland (FWUI) - which merged to form SIPTU were born as 'left breakaways' - as was the aforementioned NBRU.

		On 15 June 1970 165 members of the two unions withdrew their labour, and the strike action was confirmed and made official the next day.
		Since the dismissals the unions have used picketing and other measures to bring pressure to bear upon the company, and the company has refused to meet the unions.
		The restoration of normal industrial relations at the plant is of prime importance, and to this end the committee recommend that a settlement covering the treatment of the 49 workers still on strike should be agreed, in return for the removal of sanctions by the unions against the company.

		With the generally increasing awareness of the importance of the impact of human activity on the environment and ultimately on human health and well-being, members are themselves increasingly aware of their responsibility towards the environment and wish also to see their employers taking a responsible attitude.

		Although SIPTU is a modern Union, established in 1990, its two founding Unions - the former Irish Transport and General Workers' Union and the Federated Workers' Union of Ireland - have a proud history of advancing the cause of Irish workers.
		Both Unions continued to make an important contribution to economic and social developments in the country despite the difficult commercial climate of the depressed 1920s and the war-torn 1930s and 1940s.
		However, the untimely deaths of the two leaders meant that the process towards the amalgamation of the two Unions was delayed for a new generation.

		Late on the afternoon of Tuesday 26 June, the Irish Regional secretary and regional organiser of the Amalgamated Transport and General Workers' Union were suspended from office by Bill Morris, general secretary of the TGWU.
		The purpose of trade unions is to defend the workers, not to defend profit margins.
		We appeal to the membership of the TGWU in the whole of Britain to back us and demand the immediate rescinding of these unjust measures which, we believe, establish a dangerous precedent for our union and place a question mark over trade union democracy.
