For the last few years since the CV19 scamdemic undocumented immigration into Ireland has surged. No one is allowed discuss it because they do not want any rational debate about it. If you do you are labelled an extremist. However this out of control immigration is fully facilitated by the Irish government and the EU and the shady figure behind the Neo Con movement pushing for endless war, wokeism and globalist agenda.

Waterford Crystal Workers Occupy Deloitte head Office in Dublin

Video of occupation

‘The people of Waterford have decided that they’re not serfs.’

waterford_workers_deloitte02.jpg

Tuesday, 3rd February, 14 workers came up from Waterford Crystal to get a meeting with Deloitte Management, who now are in control of the company. They sacked 600 workers by letter last Friday. Tony Hogan, one of the reps, announced that ‘We won’t be leaving this office for some time.’

One Garda, while trying to negotiate the workers out of the foyer, rather politically said of their tactics ‘it didn’t work for Shell and it won’t work for you’. The same Garda bizarrely accused the reps of 600 sacked workers of not taking part of ‘ giving and taking’. He also said that they couldn’t come in to a workplace without making an appointment. However another Waterford worker pointed out that Deloitte management ‘came into my workplace and sacked me and ruined my life’.

This is the first time that senior management met Waterford Workers that they had sacked by letter.

The video is 6 mins long.

The video is a fantastic account of workers action and democracy, and the art of negotiation.

Saw your Video and have read your intro .

The Garda who made those ''political remarks '' should be hauled up and taken to task ,report him to the Garda Ombudsman ,but dont hold your breath??
Hope you got his tag and keep it for further reasons to make your point , and thats whats supposed to be protecting the Tax Payer ???

The whole country is watching your present dilemna so keep the cool make your point and then put the boot in , thats the way forward ,its not your fault
of course that the Government ,our employees remember , is full of Morons, more likely the fault of the clowns who voted The Gangsters into office in
the first place , As For Martin ''computer '' Cullen leave him To God , and we will play God At the Next General Election , Or in June 09 .

Good Luck Ladies And Gentlemen of Waterford /Wedgewood .

Excellent to see that the workers of Waterford will not be thrown out without a fight. We must all stick together in every workplace across this island and challenge the greedy employers and their cronies.

Fair dues to you! It is past time that corporate arrogance was lanced and the subversion of the State by shits in suits was halted.

'It didn't work for Shell' - no it didn't and le cúnamh Dé it won't!

The People united will never be defeated.

Beir bua!

was speaking to two Waterford workers involved in the occupation at the start of the anti fees march, they're dedicated to this struggle and as long as theres a feeling for it among the workers it'll go on. We're all behind you, at the minute its inspirational to see somebody standing up, when everyone has been kicked down. its our duty to not alone support, but raise awareness of the occupation. As our posters on campus have read 'Fianna Fail bankrupt the nation, we support the occupation!'
