Government must reverse position on EBS – SF
Sinn Féin spokesperson on Jobs has called on the government to reverse its position on the EBS workers to ensure the company meets is contractual obligations to the workers.
Speaking as EBS workers protested in Dublin on Tuesday, Peadar Tóibín TD said: “It is an indictment of this government that bank workers in EBS have been forced onto strike to have their pay agreement honoured by the Department of Finance, while senior managers receive full payments.
“At the same time the Department of Finance is planning to hand over in January €1.25 billion to unsecured and unguaranteed bond holders in Anglo. It is clear that the priorities of this government are with the senior banking figures and not with the normal hard working people.
Mr Tóibín added that the government needed to reverse its position on the EBS workers and honour the payment to the workers.
