“The reality is, without workers, there is no economy. Without solidarity, there is no fairness. And without strong labour rights, there is no real democracy in the workplace.”

The message to Commissioner Michael McGrath is loud and clear! He MUST protect the jobs, rights and living standards of the people in Ireland, not create a system that lets big corporations drive them down.

A proper media ownership mix is crucial for the culture and future of any society.

It is time for RTÉ management to park its outsourcing agenda, which destroys jobs and the future of this vital public service.

SIPTU FAI members say safety concerns should rule out Israel fixtures SIPTU members employed by the FAI have raised serious safety concerns regarding any proposed Nations League match between Ireland and Israel

This necessitates it reconsidering its position in relation to fulfilling these fixtures.

If employment is a good indicator of economic health, we might be getting a bit under the weather. The private sector generated no new net jobs in the last year and overall job growth is falling towards zero. We need to debate how to maintain job growth. tinyurl.com/6dap783e

Larkin insisted that workers must not see themselves as isolated individuals, but rather part of a collective force, as he put it. “An injury to one is the concern of all”

Thank you to all who came to our Larkin Commemoration this afternoon and big thanks to all the staff in Glasnevin.
