Law / Irish welcome on Polish building sites ? [47]
That's interesting. I didn't hear about that.
I was a bit peed off when that story came out here, it didn't ring true, even wages-wise.
Anyway, the story was carried in two national newspapers, and a Belfast one. All more or less identical to each other - some journalism huh ?
The guy who was quoted heavily, is a senior trade union leader. In reality, he has no evidence for those stories whatsoever. And what he claims to have said (I e-mailed him a few times) is very different to what was reported.
Of course the so-called journalist at the Irish Times didn't reply at all.
Anti-immigrant feeling is rising here now, and anything that fuels that carelessly should be challenged. In my opinion.
