Unions protest.. Manufacturers protest..

Whether the protests by Trade Unionists and by manufacturers here will, ultimately, transfer through to pressure on our local political parties, as Lord Rooker clearly wishes [and Peter Hain as well, no doubt – Ed], is still open to question. For now the protests are being directed at the Secretary of State for Wales and Northern Ireland.. the decisions are being implemented on his watch after all.. even if MLAs could, theoretically, make changes to them.
