Battles we should be winning

Every day SIPTU members are standing up for workers rights.
Their battles are often not reported in a national media.

In the campaign for general secretary I am coming across a huge number of people who want to see a strong fighting union.

Here are some of the leaflets and reports. I have done on the struggles I have come across.

The other big vote this year will be on the Lisbon Treaty.

The Treaty will put the EU into a neo-liberal straightjacket.

It will force us to increase military spending.

It does nothing to create a democratic, social Europe. We should vote NO.
