Wednesday December 09, 2009 10:48 by Andrew - WSM wsm_ireland at yahoo dot com
Today will see the greatest budget attack on workers in Ireland in a couple of decades with services and pay being slashed. Many unions and other organisations have called protests outside the Dail from the early morning to the late evening. WSM members will be taking part in these protests throughout the day and providing live updates, photos and video from them via our twitter account. During the 24th Novemeber strike we provided 70 updates from the picket lines throughout the day using this method. You can follow our updates at at http://twitter.com/wsmireland or on the twitter box on the WSM home page at http://www.wsm.ie |

Jump To Comment: 1 2 3It's hardly strange that the vast swathe of angry union members, alledgedly itching for strikes and protests but currently being held back by their union leaders, failed to turn up. There's a gaping plot hole in the lefts narrative. Fair play to those that did turn up though.
The feature of the WSM site has been updated with images, video and audio recorded live yesterday and posted to your twitter its at http://www.wsm.ie/story/6292
