Social in support of Eugene McDonagh defense fund

Fund raiser in support of sacked trade unionist.

A night of Ballads, Blues and food!

DATE;Friday 22 October at 8.00pm

VENUE; Dublin Workingmens Club,
Strand St Little, (Off Capel Street & opp Nealons Pub).
MUSIC; Ballads and Blues.
Tickets 15 Euro waged
7 Unwaged.

All proceeds go to the Eugene McDonagh defense fund.

Eugene McDonagh, an Executive member of the NBRU was sacked last March by Dublin Bus management for an unofficial dispute in Harristown garage in 2009. Eugene was targeted because he was a Trade Union representative who stood by his members and had a history of opposing cuts in public transport services and attacks on workers pay and conditions.

The company threatened to sue and sack drivers under the Industrial Relations Act.

In the end Eugene was the only driver dismissed, while dozens of others received written and verbal warnings, after over 10 months of a witch hunt with the threat of losing their jobs.

The Dispute in Harristown arose out of the changing of rosters by the company with no agreement of the drivers or their reps.

This social will help to fund Eugene's ongoing campaign for reinstatement and his upcoming Employment Appeals hearing. Eugene will continue to fight for his job and for public transport services. We appeal to all Trade Unionists and others concerned by injustice to support this event and highlight it in your union or organisation.
