EU Constitution (Lisbon Treaty)

Although the Government has reneged on the manifesto commitment to run a referendum on the EU Constitutional Treaty and ratified the Treaty of Lisbon when Ireland has rejected the EU Constitution, we give below links to the main arguments which were put forward for a referendum and the implications of the EU Constitution

The latest position is one where pressure is being put on the Irish Government to hold a second referendum rather than carry out the correct legal procedure of abandoning any further ratification of this Treaty as required by international and EU law.

Further to this the Presidents of the Czech Republic and Poland are not going to sign of ratification of the Treaty until after and if Ireland votes Yes! See above for most recent information on the Lisbon Treaty/EU Constitution

How the EU is destroying Royal Mail


The truth about partial privatising of Royal Mail is not being told to postal workers or the people. Politicians, businessmen, the Media, and possibly even some senior TU Officials are keeping the facts from us.

Demands

 Carry out Labour Party’s 2005 manifesto for "... a publicly owned Royal Mail fully restored to good health, providing customers with an excellent service and its employees with rewarding employment."

 Keep all of Royal Mail in the public sector, fully funded and modernized—the Government spent £1,000 billion of public money on saving banks so there is money to keep a key public service

 Top up the pension fund—there was money enough for bankers bonuses and pensions
