  1. Solidarity with Covalen workers!

    700 workers are set to lose their jobs (on top of 300 previous), with no redundancy from a company that made €26 million in profits last year...

    This will become more and more common. Big tech employ people to train AI to replace their own jobs, and then tell them there's no job for them anymore.

    We have to fight this disgraceful treatment of workers.

  2. AI being used to cut workers' jobs, so that Meta can invest billions more in AI.

    I had the pleasure of standing with these workers on their picket lines previously.

    Support the workers!

  3. This is blatant victimisation for union activity.
    It's also completely ridiculous.

    Sonya should be reinstated, this should be condemned by government, and government should meet with the workers and instruct the HSE to treat them properly.

    The workers at Northside Home Care will continue to fight with their union the IWU, but this intimidation must be ended.

  4. Solidarity with Sonya, all the workers at Northside Home Care on strike, and their union the IWU.

    This is blatant victimisation for union activity. Bosses hate when workers get organised. This is why workers are forced to fight for their rights!

  5. Northside Home Care Services workers were outside the Dáil yesterday (and out in Coolock today) with their union the IWU to fight for their basic entitlements to pay parity.

    Have a listen to Sonya explain why they're there, and why they'll keep fighting.

    The government must take action and give them the pay parity they need, and treat them as the section 39 workers that they are.

  6. The government must act and give these workers the pay parity they need, and treat them as the section 39 workers that they are!

    Northside Home Care Healthcare Assistants were on strike outside the Dáil yesterday with their union the IWU.

    These essential workers provide care daily to about 500 people. They're forced to take action because this government and the HSE refuses to give them their basic rights and recognition as section 39 workers.

  7. Northside Home Care were on strike outside the Dáil today with their union the IWU.

    Some of them have worked for 25 years and are currently on €15.04/hour, and others who are on minimum wage.

    They're getting about 30% less than others doing the exact same work as them.

    These essential workers provide care daily to about 500 people.

    The government must take action and give them the pay parity they need, and treat them as the section 39 workers that they are.

  8. This government dances to the tune of big business as usual.

    They refuses to give workers the right to work from home, while also refusing to make decent public transport to get into work!

    It's simple. We need to give people the right to work from home, and invest in free, frequent, and reliable public transport.

  9. There are many people doing important work around the country in adult education

    LTI workers are one of those, but they have not had a pay increase in 20 years.

    They need pay parity with Community Training Centre (CTC) Staff and to have pay scales implemented!

    #JoinAUnion #FightForYourRights

  10. Boycott Uber!

    Don't let them pull Ireland into yet another race to the bottom.

    Fair play to all those protesting yesterday around the city. Workers are stronger together!

    The government must establish a publicly owned, not-for-profit app operated by the NTA, mandated to protect taxi drivers’ incomes and to protect customers against Uber's surge pricing.

  11. I hope the NoKings 2 protests will be a huge success and encourage every single person to take part if they can.

    Standing up for democracy is so important.

    I want to smile when reading the news in Germany on Sunday, please.

    💪

  12. Yeah, civil liberities are totally under attack in the United States. I'm not tying to scare you. Just being honest. But the fact is a revolution is needed, a radical one

  13. Thousands turned out today to back our school secretaries and caretakers in their fight for pension parity.

    Support the workers.

    Contact your TDs to demand the government concedes and drop by pickets to support.

  14. Absolutely massive crowd of school secretaries and caretakers.

    All they want is to be treated equally - to get pensions, sick pay and bereavement leave.

    Support the workers. Contact your TDs to demand the government concedes and drop by pickets to support.

  15. Full support to the school secretaries and caretakers taking strike action tomorrow Thursday.

    This is about pay and pension justice. Please send them a message of support.

  16. An outrageous situation.
    Thanks to Aengus Ó Snodaigh and the campaigners for their work in bringing forward this bill.
    Nobody should still have these convictions in 2025. We can't allow the clock to be turned back - fight back against those attacking hard-won LGBT+ rights.

  17. A landlord government represents the interests of those who profit off people's housing misery.

    Government's gutting of rent pressure zones and stripping of tenants rights will push us toward a massive increase in homelessness and precarity.

    Make sure you're at the CATU protest on the 5th July, 1pm at the Garden of Remembrance!

  18. Hey BIMM - leave those those jobs alone!

  19. 72 horas de descanso en cada semana de trabajo no es mucho pedir, amics, que llevamos viviendo de la lucha de los/as/es huelguistas de La Canadiense chorrocientos años y algo tendremos nosotros/as/es que legar a las generaciones venideras ¿o qué? Mientras los propietarios de los medios de producción llevan tres cuartos de siglo sobreexplotado los incrementos de productividad y forrándose a costa del sudor ajeno, el poder adquisitivo de la clase trabajadora no aumenta significativamente. Contar con más tiempo de vida real y menos de vida laboral es una buena forma de mejorar ¿no os parece?

  20. 📣 Also today:
    #ShutDownZim
    Toronto and Montreal offices of Zim were shut down for a portion of the morning.

    ➡️ Zim is the main provider of shipping services to Israel and one of the top ten largest shipping lines in the world. The company has a long history of supporting Israel's military operations and said last month that it would offer its ships and infrastructure to serve the "national needs of Israel."

  21. A win for the workers!
    My employer is a non-profit org that assists developmentally disabled folks lead a productive, independent life in both a residential setting, as well as with in the community.
    Recently, due to exhausting and poorly organized schedules, 2 residential LPNs put in their notice. Management decided it would be best (for financial reasons) to have the regular workers, like myself, take on training to distribute medications to the residents. This would also mean there would be one less person on hand to assist with daily duties, including ensuring the safety of the residents. I refused when told the pay would be the same but the responsibility and liability would be greater for me and other workers.
    I saw this as exploiting the workers to take on more work and liability for the same pay by way of not hiring more LPNs, thus "taking a job" from an LPN that would be willing to take the job.

    The other workers (including the LPNs) had a few unofficial meetings and discussions stating we would all resist. Two other workers were ready to put in notice along with the LPNs.
    Yesterday management, after realizing that 3/4 of our residential staff might be gone by the 2nd week of January, held a meeting for the workers to explain their side and express their concerns.

    By the end of the meeting they offered one of the LPNs everything that they wanted to keep them on staff. They listened to all of the issues the staff had with liability, responsibility and safety.
    I didn't make the last minute impromptu Zoom meeting, but my fellow workers kept me abreast of what went on.

    So, here we are, the workers, including the LPN, getting the fair treatment with no extra workload and management bending to the needs of the workers and residents.

    I've been putting a bug in the ears of fellow workers about these issues and I'm proud to say my fellow workers spoke up with all those concerns and more. I'm expecting a call from management today to hear of I have any additional grievances or concerns.

    I consider this a BIG win for myself and my fellow workers.
    Remember, that workers not only control the means of production but also ensure the safety and quality of life for ourselves as well as our residence and the community.

    Never give up. Never back down.
