Community Employment Supervisors Mounted A Protest This Morning Outside Colm Burke's Office In Blackpool
It's over the denial of pensions
The protest is part of a nationwide campaign by union members of Siptu and Fórsa to highlight the fact that the government has failed to implement a Labour Court ruling of 2008 which said a pension scheme should be put in place and adequately funded.
