Episode 16 - WHAT'S THE EFLING AND SA DISPUTE ABOUT? AND WHO ARE THEY?

Today on the RÚV English Podcast service, an attempt to go back to first principles and explain a story which seems more complex every day.

The wage dispute between union Efling and business body SA is never far from the headlines, with court battles seemingly always raging over the legality of various actions and plans. But how did this start? What exactly is SA - who does it represent? And what of Efling, the union at the heart of the dispute?

With no question too daft to ask, Darren is joined by his RÚV colleague Pétur Magnússon to go right back to the start and explain what's going on. Our conversation was recorded just after 4pm on Wednesday 22 February, so here's the situation as it was right at that moment. Catch up before it all changes again.
