Arse End Of Horse Costume Strikes For Equal Pay

A POPULAR pair of Dublin City street performers who have been a fixture of the Temple Bar area in recent months are locked in an industrial dispute as the ‘arse end’ of the horse costume begins strike action.

“This is the malign influence of unions in action, his is a menial job requiring no skill or critical thinking. I guide him, without me he wouldn’t know where to go but now I’m out of work too because he’s striking. Ridiculous,” confirmed head of Crazy Horse, student Cathal Fleming.

Complaining that his work is valued as less than the work carried out by his co-worker, Gerard O’Neill is striking so he can gain pay parity with his colleague.

“I could be an amazing front of horse, but we’ll never know but he refuses to try it. If he thinks the arse-end is a walk in the park. Well it is, we technically go through Stephen’s Green twice a day on weekends but you get the point, I’m saying he’s welcome to earn less for a day and see how ‘easy’ it is,” O’Neill explained to WWN.

At an initial hearing at the WRC, front-end Fleming argued that with responsibility for identifying high-volume crowds with a predisposition to tip means he is entitled to the lion’s share of the proceeds from being a horse.

O’Neill countered that his position within the horse exposes him to Fleming’s farts and his posture has suffered also.

Recommendations including going it alone as two seagulls has been rejected by the men. The hearing continues tomorrow.
