Re: TEETU Eletricians Dispute (Eamon Devoy on Joe Duffy)
I'm kicking myself I didn't become a trade union activist when I had the chance years ago. Those of us involved in the union were given the change to go the College of Industrial Relations Ranelagh for a one year course. If that was successful then a 3 year course was an option which could eventually lead to a job in the union. I could have been earning €150,000 a year now. I don't think I would have suited a beard though - not with the glasses I have to wear - or the hearing aid.
