"Trashing the concept of a public service" - O'Toole

Fintan O'Toole in his column in today's Irish Times highlights the plight of Greyhound workers.

He writes: "I am being asked to collude as a 'customer' in the impoverishment of the men who collect my bins and their families."

The column is well worth a read. Will there be the slightest hint or reference to the right and wrong/morality of this dispute in any religious publication?

No. When was the life of a binman of interest to church personnel?
