Today Strike Map attended the @SIPTU and @UNI_Europa protest in Dublin alongside comrades from @CWU@MandateTU and @fsuireland calling on the Government to put collective bargaining and fair employment standards at the heart of how public contracts are awarded.
Calling NUJ members!
@SIPTU and @UNI_Europa will hold a rally at 1pm on 1 July 2026 outside the Office of Government Procurement in Dublin.
The rally will call on the Irish government to use its EU Presidency to advance a fair public procurement system that supports decent work, quality public services, and collective bargaining.
Bring banners, flags, and solidarity!
It’s time for the #GoodJobsBill
Time for @niassembly to debate and legislate
Time to stop lobbyists vetoing popular legislation
Time for Stormont to deliver for working people
@irishcongress
Support Ambulance professionals!
Last week, SIPTU members in the NAS voted overwhelmingly for industrial action, up to and including strike action.
The first date of action will be a 24-hour stoppage on the 12th May.
Government COULD have put together an innovative and progressive package of direct supports.
It COULD have regulated prices and profit margins in the energy sector.
INSTEAD, they opted for regressive tax cuts and subsidies to employers.
Workers abandoned AGAIN by Government
Sunday Read: Do no harm by Omar Barghouti
❝ Palestinians do not have the luxury of genocide fatigue or of giving up hope, not to mention that, as I’ve said on other occasions, giving up hope is so un-Irish!
SIPTU has called on Government to ensure that all workers in low paid industries benefit from a new floor on annual salaries for holders of non-EEA employment permits, warning the Union will not accept a situation where workers already living and working in Ireland are paid less.
For International Day of Solidarity with the Palestinian people, let's make this the biggest demonstration yet! There is no ceasefire. Our government must sanction apartheid Israel to make it end its genocidal crimes in Gaza and the West Bank All out! #FreePalestine#SanctionsNow
