Siptu members are considering industrial action to protest the sale of Bord na Móna's waste management service, advocating for public ownership as a key to efficient waste management.
Adrian Kane emphasized a growing European consensus that public enterprises are the most effective way to manage domestic waste collection, highlighting support from various local authorities.
Kane argued that the government is pushing through the privatisation of the last public waste service without regard for the broader societal implications, urging a halt to the sale.
The union believes the sale poses risks not only to workers' jobs but also to local communities and environmental sustainability, undermining previous efforts toward re-municipalisation.
