ILDA Leader Brendan Ogle to Speak in Belfield on Wednesday

UCD Labour Youth will welcome former Irish Locomotive Drivers Association activist Brendan Ogle to Belfield this Wednesday.

Ogle, now involved in the ATGWU, was a major player in the recognition dispute at Iarnród Éireann in 2000. He has a unique insight into trade unionism and industrial relations in ireland and is the author of a recent book, "Off the Rails: The Story of ILDA," in which much of the dispute is summarised from a worker's perspective.

Ogle will speak on the topic "Trade Unionism and Social Partnership Today" and the event will comprise a brief introduction and a questions and answers session. The meeting will take place in Theatre R of the Arts Block at 6pm on Wednesday, October 27th.

All are welcome to what is bound to be a fascinating insight into the contentious world of Irish trade unionism and industrial relations.
