Jack1985 - the High Court of Ireland issued the injunction to prevent the strike. Instead of lashing out at government and whoever else you feel responsible you should remember that you live in a democracy where the rule of the courts is part of that process. Instead of hysterical posting you should calmly request of your union leadership to appeal the decision to the surpreme court. That is the legal process, whining isn't.
Fair post.
Let me just sign off with this, every €1 to the IASS, I get €0.10 back. Not fair regardless of whatever your views are on the matter, particularly as my contract defines that should not be the case.
