Congratulations to President Michael D Higgins on his staunch defence of our longstanding public policy on Neutrality.

Has anyone pointed out that merely to keep pace with inflation (2.8%) the Old Age pension should have been increased by €6.95 in #Budget2022 ?

This Friday is the 109th anniversary of the founding of our Party in Clonmel. To mark it we've organised a special webinar on workers rights. What we've done and what we all still must do to build a new Workers' Republic. To register 📧👉 tradeunion@votelabour.ie All welcome 🌹

Ivana Bacik is a solid and proven supporter of workers’ rights and an incredible activist and legislator. #DBS21 We're proud to be on #TeamIvana Let's do this! 🌹✊

❝ The statutory right to #sickpayforall is a key policy priority of the @Labour Party. We introduced a Bill that would make sure no worker would be out of pocket if they fall ill. We want to do away with the enormous financial implications of bad health. #NoGoingBack #MayDay2021

Happy #MayDay2021 Fighting #COVID19 = #Solidarity ✔️is saving us ✔️should drive recovery ✊Trade unions bringing working people together for a better future Before, during & after the #Pandemic #1May #Solidarity youtube.com/watch?v=umXRDh…

Across Europe, trade unions returned to the streets today to mark International Workers' Day for the first time since the pandemic began. jrnl.ie/5426266t

#MayDay was marked in Ireland as a public holiday for the first time in 1994, marking the centenary of trade unionism in Ireland @irishcongress #MayDay2021 rte.ie/archives/2013/…

Wise words Patricia King on #MayDay2021 👏 ❝ Many workers were ‘essential’ – it’s just that they were ‘undervalued’. That is a single symptom of the underlying problems we have and a reminder that there can be #NoGoingBack to the consensus of working life before the pandemic.

Happy May Day! Up the Workers! ✊🌹 Over a year into a global pandemic and six months since we called for #sickpayforall Ireland still hasn't got a statutory sick pay scheme. 🤒 Join us in the fight for better workers right.✊ #MayDay labour.ie/join

An incredibly insightful keynote speech from @JOConnorTweets to the @Labour_TU AGM after a fantastic webinar. As political descendants of Connolly and Larkin, it is imperative that we as socialists and trade unionist unite this island based on class and common identity 🚩

A #MayDay2021 message from @JOConnorTweets "We must not leave the Future of Ireland to be decided between competing nationalism, Orange and Green." #NoGoingBack #InternationalWorkersDay labour-tu.medium.com/a-united-irela…

Delighted to be at @labour Dublin North West meeting listening to ⁦@JOConnorTweets⁩ in his campaign for Chair of the party.

This afternoon the Mayday organising committee met with chair of @labour @JOConnorTweets - a great discussion on socialism and the future of Labour. @MaydayIrl presents us with a huge opportunity. Join Labour - join Mayday - ourmayday.ie

As @JOConnorTweets once said, ‘you can have the best Health and safety legislation in the world, but without enforcement, it isn’t worth the paper it’s written on.’ @TheHSA needs to be banging down the doors of every construction site and food processing plant across Ireland.

Just read the High Court SEO judgement. Devastating for tens of thousands of workers. Call a spade a spade. Brid Smith was 100% correct on this.

It hasn’t been a good day for my Party, #G2020 but there’s been a massive swing to parties standing on largely Democratic Socialist manifesto’s, which is an unquestionably good development. I salute them all.

It doesn’t have to be this way. There is an alternative that will stop the waste of public money, build homes and fix health. We want to build an equal society. #VoteLabour for real solutions. #GE2020

Thank you all for your great messages and support. Just out from Churchtown,having voted with the family. If you need a lift, please let us know. Thank you all once again #votelabour
