Crucial first strike under ‘power-sharing’ Assembly
Socialist Party leaflet
The ongoing classroom assistants’ days of industrial action, across Northern Ireland, in defence of wages and conditions, is the first strike to take place under the new Northern Ireland Assembly Executive (local ‘power-sharing’ government). The 3,000 strikers are coming under daily media attack and also opposition from spokespeople from the main sectarian-based political parties. The strikers are organized in the main public sector union in N Ireland, NIPSA. Shamefully, however, officials from several other unions have acted to undermine the strike.
