What does Fórsa Left stand for? A handy 🧵 for reference: 1) The repeal of the 1990 industrial relations act and the end of social partnership. We want a fighting union, with reps who truly represent our interests rather than just cosying up to govt

Fórsa Left endorse Catherine Connolly for the presidency as a pro-Palestine, pro-neutrality, pro-worker candidate. @forsa_union_ie should follow the example of other unions and trade union activists by doing the same.

Healthcare workers voted to strike due to increasingly dangerous staffing levels. This is a result of the longstanding drive by the state/HSE to privatise. So what's the hold up? @forsa_union_ie 🤔

you can organise talks on unions as political orgs, they can get Jane McAlevey (RIP) (wrote about how community and worker movements are indivisible) to come to conference and do a workshop, that's all well and good. But when will this be reflected in your organising strategy?

ICTU/Fórsa have consistently shown no willingness to mobilise people on housing through Raise the Roof. Fórsa's members are facing eviction and skyrocketing rents. Come out and defend your members @forsa_union_ie Sign the petition 👇 my.uplift.ie/petitions/unio…

This lunchtime healthcare staff at Our Lady of Lourdes Hospital are calling for safe staffing levels. Patients deserve a public health service that ensures safe and timely care.

Huge turnout for the 3rd protest by HSE employees, in Drogheda & Tullamore. The determination at the protests is growing & growing. Frontline workers know the Pay & Numbers Strategy is the recruitment embargo under another name. And they won't stand for it #ServicesAreSuffering

10 years ago today 120,000 marched on water charges. We need same again on housing but our unions need to pull the finger out. Mass movements like water can make a right wing government surrender and discipline the likes of Sinn Féin when they hesistate. Remember our power.

Since last week The Ditch has twice alerted government to the illegal carriage of munitions to Israel on a FedEx flight route from Memphis to Cologne We can confirm that yesterday’s flight – which flew over Ireland – was carrying IDF munitions for delivery to Nevatim air base

Unions need to push for a massive housing protest before the next budget Fascists pose an existential threat to unions + migrant workers Start acting like it. Bring people out onto the streets, direct blame where it lies The govt, developers, vulture funds, landlords
Fórsa trade union@forsa_union_ie

We stand with communities. We stand with migrants. We stand with ALL workers. Anyone peddling racism instead of real solutions doesn't care about you or your family. After the violence last night in Dublin, we're again calling on workers of Ireland to reject hatred & division.

Beware of any politician who tells you they want to "house the Irish first." They might just turn out to be a parasite landlord. People like Michael Leahy are why we haven't got anywhere to live. Ireland is not full. We have 160K vacant properties and a landlord govt.

An Irish Freedom Party European candidate uses a fake name to run a rent pressure zone Airbnb in a converted office space for almost €1,000 a week Michael Leahy says he’s “passionate” about “making it affordable for people to access the housing market” ontheditch.com/irish-freedom-…

Proud moment today helping a couple of zionist motions get defeated at the @forsa_union_ie conference Referenced "human shields"+ "the Israel-Hamas conflict." May have seemed a sensitive issue to some delegates but I'm delighted we passed various concrete pro-BDS motions instead

Deadline for voting on the public sector pay deal is today at noon. The proposed deal doesn't match inflation, even over the past three years. 95% of Fórsa members surveyed last year said they would ballot for industrial action in this scenario. Vote no. Fight for better.
