The UK energy operator's Future Energy Scenarios 2025 is a conceited phantasmagoria of fever dreams and delusions, says David Turver ? uncosted, unproven and utterly disconnected from reality.

USI calls for the renegotiation of the Croke Park deal. Wages too high on campus!

category national | education | news report author Sunday December 12, 2010 15:47author by FEE Report this post to the editors

Shocking call from the Union of Students in Ireland.
USI President Gary Redmond with his fellow Fianna Failers, UCD.
USI President Gary Redmond with his fellow Fianna Failers, UCD.

On Saturday 11th December, USI National Council passed a motion allowing the USI leadership to call for the renegotiation of the Croke Park Deal, so that public-sector pay can be further cut in the hope of protecting students’ frontline services.

The motion was proposed by UCD Student’s Union, who recently released a statement calling for the Croke Park Deal to be scrapped.
That statement can be read at http://www.ucdsu.ie/site/view/457/

By passing this motion, USI are tacitly accepting that ordinary people, rather than the wealthy, must bear the cost of the present economic crisis. The student movement should stand in solidarity with workers, both public and private-sector, the unemployed etc. in resisting the government’s cutback agenda, rather than allowing the government to divide and conquer.

It is clear now more than ever that Gary “Vote Fianna Fáil for Jobs” Redmond and his friends in the Students’ Unions cannot be trusted to lead a real fightback on behalf of students. It is imperative that students organise independently on a grassroots basis to resist austerity.
