    Not too bad, just home, heavy enough on the Quay going towards New Ross direction. It'll probably get worse.

    What a statement to make , it was'nt a "stupid strike" it was a protest march in support of fellow Irish workers who are going to lose their jobs and be replaced by agency workers from Eastern Europe who are also being exploited.
    Just because it does'nt affect you now dont think you're immune to it in the future.

    Meldrew, you beat me to it. In all fairness, that was a brutal statement to make. Just goes to show that "if it doesn't affect me I dont care" attitude exists around here.

    Fair statement Mossy, but the bus drivers are only standing up for their fellow workers like the Taxi drivers did also.This protest is not only about these Irish Ferries workers, its about all of us and I even go as far as to say, the kids in our schools at present.

    Thats why we have unions, but then again I forgot that you work for a non unionised company.
