"How has the Irish Government responded to the challenge of Trump's tariffs? They have told 200,000 minimum wage workers that they will have to wait until 2029 for a real living wage. We called that out for what that is: a dose of austerity for the lowest paid workers."

Huge thanks to Mark Little for his insights into our uncertain world at this time with right wing populism, Trump and AI

STATEMENT: The Oireachtas must reject scaremongering about the Occupied Territories Bill. The Government, the EU, the ICJ, the ICC and the UN are all clear: the settlements are illegal under international law. It is well past time the Occupied Territories Bill was made law.

It’s not too late for the 🇮🇪 government to do the right thing here. Giving a €1bn handout of tax payers money to the hospitality sector that clearly doesn’t need it, particularly at a time of global economic uncertainty is reckless and crazy.

So looking forward to the big day on Sunday and being in Croke Park with my son will be a memorable moment. The best of luck to CLG Dhún na nGall you have done us all proud, one last push 💛💚

ICTU calls proposed VAT cut 'economic vandalism' via @RTENews rte.ie/news/business/…

The hospitality sector does not need a billion euro in State Aid. Yet that is what's proposed through the cut in VAT. Our General Secretary Owen Reidy speaking with Drivetime RTE yesterday.

Why does the hospitality sector need an €800m handout from taxpayers when the evidence says the sector is doing fine?

This is our moment! The day we've dreamed of & yearned for, for 11 years is here – All-Ireland Final Day! Now's the time we stand tall, wear our colours with pride & let the roar of the hills be heard all the way to Croker (1/3)

New blog from Irish Congress of Trade Unions (ICTU) on Ireland's €1.5m EU fine for the incomplete transposition of the directive on work-life balance into Irish law.  ictu.ie/blog/behind-ir…

Why let the truth get in the way of a good narrative!! Facts and data showing that SMEs more profitable now than before the crash. So why the Irish govt obsession? Our media need to dig a little deeper

Despite the horror of Gaza, we continue to see pushback against the Occupied Territories Bill. Our General Secretary Owen Reidy writes for eolas Magazine about why the union movement will keep advocating for passage of the OTB. #PassTheOTB eolasmagazine.ie/trade-union-de…

My full support to the caretakers and school secretaries who have been incredibly patient over what is clear and obvious dispute, they need and deserve public service pensions now. The dept must act immediately Irish Congress of Trade Unions (ICTU)

Great to have an extra pair of ‘paws’ in the office today to help out a bit! #BigSandy

You deserve the best possible protection at work. Right now, the Government is writing a new plan on workers’ rights. It needs to deliver real change for workers. You can help. Sign the petition. Tell the Government your rights at work matter. Respectatwork.ie
