📢 TikTok cuts paternity leave & insists staff back in office five days a week.
This move undermines family rights and work-life balance. Changing leave entitlements while demanding full office presence shows a lack of respect for workers’ needs.

The workers training AI at Covalen face some of the most horrific conditions we’ve heard in years, traumatic content, low pay, and zero recognition.
While tech giants rake in billions, these workers are left in the shadows, unsupported, unheard, and underpaid.

Workers in Ireland have some of the weakest union rights in Europe. No guarantee of union pay deals, protections, or even access at work. Minister Peter Burke promised to change this, but we need your voice to make sure it’s real, not a gift to big business.

Unions didn’t just fight for better work - they won it. 💪
From weekends to equal pay, from sick leave to safer workplaces, union action has shaped the working world we rely on today.
