Postgraduate workers in #Galway & across Ireland are calling for #EqualPayforEqualWork & recognition of worker status #PGRsDeserveBetter Ollscoil na Gaillimhe | University of Galway Department of Further and Higher Education Simon Harris TD

The Irish weather did not stop us from demanding for what we deserve! Living wage, workers rights, residency rights for non-EU researchers 🙌🏼 #PGRsDeserveBetter #ResearchIsWork

Reminder that marches will be taking place across the country tomorrow to advocate for our rights!
