Ictu and the Eighth Amendment

Sir, – Like Amnesty International, originally set up to protect the weak and vulnerable, it seems that the Irish Congress of Trade Unions has likewise abandoned its raison d'être in the defence of the voiceless in our society.

Is this really deemed progress or is it just another example of the powerful exercising control? – Yours, etc,
