[Thomas J Stamp]

Regular posters and guests who read our website and this board will recall that on more than one occasion it was stated that IE managment had found a ground they could beat the unions on - the CDE - and that was what happened. 30,000 people were messed around due to idiotic power plays which primary schoolchildren would be ashamed of. It is a fact that sparodic action like todays has happened in the past and will do so again in the future but they only happen because of the mindsets of the people who are supposed to meet at the negotiating table.
