[seafoid]

A bad month between Ballymena and today Bombardier announcing 1000 redundancies

[Milltown Row2]

Well the union rejected cost cutting measures to help reduce the expected redundancies.....

Title of this thread proves the freestate doesn't want the North. "NI job losses?"

Tony, I don't speak for the 26 counties unfortunately. The NI economic model is taking a hammering. 3000 job losses in February which is equivalent to say 10,000 down south. And what will replace them? Linen?

How can they measure if they are discriminating if they don't find out what foot you dig with?

How effective is anti discrimination legislation is say Ballymena or Larne ?

In the norths you can have a reasonable stab at someone's preferred digging foot based on their name.

Some names are obvious, but schools are the real tell tale signs.

Companies are legally required up here to monitor the background of all job applicants and take action if one community is significantly underrepresented in terms of applications or employment.Many job ads have the addendum "As Protestants/Catholics are currently underrepresented in our workforce,applications are particularly welcome from this section of the community"

I'm very much ambivalent about Unions these days, as a public sector worker you cant help but notice that the most useless workshy hoorbags gravitate towards the local posts. I wouldn't know much about In this particular situation but the above seems a regularly trotted out line. Sometimes they dont realise until it's too late that they are in a game of brinkmanship that they were never gonna win. The Union movement is going down the toilet imo, it rarely knows what battles to be fighting.

They probably need to be modernised but I wouldn't kill them off. In the US they were decimated and now one third of Yansk are freelance workers with no pensions or sick pay and average income of 28k USD which is SFA compared to equivalent permanent employees factoring in what employers pay for pensions etc

Anyway very sad news for al those workers. Who is the employment minister ? I hope it's not that clown from East Derry

Unions are only looking after themselves.... Its big business with proceeds of wages going towards them...

Very simple, work harder and you'll keep your jobs.... Somebody is going it more efficiently somewhere else, why not here? Worked there fir 3 years, plenty areas that could be improved to help the place.... People are strange
