It pays to be UNION. 🗳️💶🤝

SIPTU Education members in Kilkenny College and the RCSI have recently voted to accept pay deals which will see significant rises in their earnings. #Unionise

Our ability to secure these is assisted by growing our membership. www.SIPTU.ie/join

This is what having a @labourpartyireland.bsky.social MEP helps to achieve ⬇️
An important victory for workers as the EU Parliament passes vital legislation on European Works Councils!

But take note of who opposed it!

By voting against workers’ rights - joining forces with PfE & ECR, the EPP has shown that workers and trade unions cannot count on them.

"BIMM’s initial proposal removed job security, employment protections and stable hours. Particular concern to our members was BIMM Managements initial refusal to engage with IFUT or the WRC. We welcome recent progress and hope a fair resolution is found." SIPTU Education Sector Organiser, Karl Byrne

📰The pay dispute highlighted by @SIPTU member Charlotte Fallon continues to rumble on, despite assurances it would be addressed.

#Section39 workers deserve better! Government must give funding departments the mandate to address the issue. #GE24

25 years - where indeed did they go?!? Thanks once more @orlafeely.bsky.social and all my terrific colleagues at UCD SPIRe - where I'm one of the seniors now! Shared the SPIRe spotlight with Tobias Theiler - also 25 years in post.
