A similar price is being paid by the trade union leadership foday. Jerry Carin. who as Northern Ireland officer of the Irish Congress Is tne bureaucrat in the North, currently serves as a member of the Northern Authority, adequate and efficient police force'.
When his membership authority has conflicted with his position as trade union representative, Carlin has come cowa on tae side or le former. gaus ne did nothing when the 1978 conference of the ICTU decided, against Carlin's wishes, to demand a public inquiry into the death of trade unionist Brian Maguire at Castlereagh interrogation centre and charge him as Northern Ireland Officer to press the matter.
In refusing to take up the issue of Brian Maguire, Carlin was following one brand of 'non-sectarianism'. For Maguire's death was indeed issue, protesting loudest over his death were from the Catholic working class community.
But explained in this way 'non-sectarian' is leading union Police *to maintain an of the police of it.
those way.
