Liberty Hall is important before the Rising. It is important on the eve of the Rising. It is important during the Rising. It is important after its attack, it is important after its rebuilding, and it is important today. @PresidentIRL

Today, we celebrate all the amazing Mothers of our movement and support those who are missing theirs. Cherish memories and honour legacies. Lá na Máthar Sona! ❤️ 💐 Happy #MothersDay 🌸

Bring out the banners! 📸 1916 wrap going up on Liberty Hall. The wrap depicted images, including the Proclamation, prominent Irish Citizen Army and other activists during the 1916 Rising was erected on three sides of Liberty Hall in March 2016.

After lengthy WRC negotiations, a set of proposals are on the table to progress the Section 39 pay dispute. Not all issues are resolved, but this is a step forward in securing fair pay and recognition Section 39 workers. A consultation process will now take place with members once the proposals issue for their consideration.

🚨 Section 39 talks adjourned until Monday. While progress was made we are disappointed that an overall set of proposals could not be finalised due to remaining gaps between the parties. In the absence of an agreement we will continue to progress our strike ballot.

This week, we launched #SIPTUwomen across our socials. Here’s Rosie, Mary, Suzanne and Lynda. All Shop Stewards, all workplace leaders, all union legends! Remember, a woman’s place is in her Union! siptu.ie/join

Today marks an important step in our fight for pay justice for Section 39 members. The mandate from our membership is strong and clear. The ball is now firmly in the hands of the Government. They can turn their fine words into deeds and action. Nothing less will do.

🚨 SIPTU members in selected Section 39 organisations vote for strike action. 🗳️ Our members have overwhelming by 96% to 4% for strike action in order to force a resolution to a long-running pay dispute. The Unions go again Monday at the WRC.

Solidarity with the BIMM workers!
