SIPTU President warns Labour not to support Fine Gael

Saturday, 29 November 2008

The President of SIPTU has launched a stinging attack on Fine Gael.

Jack O'Connor has warned the Labour Party not to support Fine Gael because of their so-called neo-liberal policies.

It follows Fine Gael leader Enda Kenny's call for employers and employees to take a wage freeze for 12 months in order to protect living standards.

Speaking at the Labour Party's annual conference in Co Kilkenny, Jack O'Connor said a vote for Fine Gael would be political suicide.
