expolitation still exsists

for those of the right and liberal. who tell us that exploitation is of the past. would be of no shock to many of us who experienced it.

the article in yesterdays 27/08/. to-days Irish Times. by Kitty Holland. comes as no shock.
in fact exploitation of people with disabilities, goes back to the late 1970s- 1980s. in Irish Industrial schools. in the hands and control of the catholic church

as usual were is the voices of the left of the Irish Trade Unions. of course they couldn't bother. because with disabilities been explotated. are not sexy. who are of no political threat. yet we had people dancing and shouting demanding justice. within their unions, when these people believed that injustice was been done to them through the trade union
complaints were made about a well funded government agency in Dublin to trade union people. about exploitation of people on training course. with National learning network. who were been put out to work experience with Campbells catering. Campbells catering were paying these people nothing. these people were just receving their state benefits. with 30 euro from Fas. for 20 hours work.
