Time for Mr Brown to act on the Ports Dispute

The calls for a resolution of the Ports dispute are growing. If you put to one side suggestions of the numpties such as the Mr Silva of the Importers Institute (who and what are these self-aggrandizing business associations that pontificate in such a self-interested way, I wonder), it is interesting to see the emergence of a heavyweight union-transport sector-community group (the Lorimer, Swny, Braid, Kelly alliance) calling for some common sense and a new vision for the Ports. This is an ideal opening for Mr Brown to step into and act in a constructive manner, perhaps via a stronger ARH intervention.

I also hear that Mr Gibson should think carefully about the value he's gaining from the special advice he is receiving about how to run the dispute.
