SIPTU. Communities Against Cuts Campaign

 

The 'Communities against Cuts' campaign represents thousands of workers providing essential services to children, the elderly, disabled, recovering drug addicts, Travellers, young people and women in the country's most disadvantaged areas. Government cut backs have already seen the closure of community development projects and the McCarthy report proposals, if implemented, will result in the loss of a further 6,500 jobs in the Community sector.
