Poolbeg Incinerator "Rogue Employer"
The USA’s National Labor Relations Board this week issued a comprehensive complaint charging Covanta Energy Corp. and all of its U.S. subsidiaries with violating federal labor law.

AFL-CIO Local 369 President Gary Sullivan:
The board’s action confirms our first-hand experience that Covanta is a rogue employer with no respect for the rights of its employees.
Dublin City Council has a secret deal with Covanta to run the proposed Poolbeg Waste-to-Toxins incinerator. Possibly to dodge US courts the deal is with an offshore Covanta outfit – a special purpose entity firewalled in secretive Luxembourg (guess why).
