✊ Solidarity with the 300,000+ workers taking strike action across Ireland today.

Today, nurses, doctors, teachers, civil servants, and workers across the public sector are standing together in the fight for fair pay.

Workers deserve pay that reflects the value of their work and protects their living standards in the face of rising costs.

As trade unionists, we know that solidarity is at the heart of everything we do. When workers stand together, across workplaces, sectors and unions, we are stronger.

The CWU sends our full solidarity to everyone on the picket lines today. We stand with you in the fight for fair pay, dignity and respect at work.

Last week was an exceptionally busy week for union training as we delivered committee courses for the Regional Clerks Branch, the Dublin Postal Delivery Branch and for the first time, we had a group of union representatives in from KN Circet.

It was great to see such high levels of attendance and engagement.

We’re here!

The Workers’ AI Counter Summit starts today at CWU headquarters in Dublin.

As governments and Big Tech shape the future of AI, workers and communities must have a say in how these technologies are developed and introduced into our lives and workplaces.

We’re here to put the voice of workers at the centre of the conversation.

Happy World Post Day!

Today we celebrate postal workers everywhere, and especially our members in An Post, DPD and UPS who keep Ireland connected every day.

From sorting offices to delivery rounds, postal workers provide an essential service to communities across the country. Thank you for all that you do.

UNI Europa is calling for fair postal reform across Europe to protect universal postal services, ensure affordable parcel delivery and make private operators pay their fair share.

Support the campaign to Save Our Post! Visit UNI Europa’s page and sign the petition to support postal workers and defend our public postal services.

📢 Employment permits shouldn’t mean fewer rights.

Workers on employment permits can face barriers when trying to change jobs, leaving them vulnerable to exploitation and unfair treatment.

That’s why 23 organisations, trade unions, academics and employer bodies have come together to call for reform of Ireland’s employment permit system.

Workers should have the freedom to change jobs and stand up for their rights at work.

✊ It’s time for employment permit equality.
