Liberty Hall is important before the Rising. It is important on the eve of the Rising. It is important during the Rising. It is important after its attack, it is important after its rebuilding, and it is important today. @PresidentIRL

Bring out the banners! 📸 1916 wrap going up on Liberty Hall. The wrap depicted images, including the Proclamation, prominent Irish Citizen Army and other activists during the 1916 Rising was erected on three sides of Liberty Hall in March 2016.

✅ Weekends ✅ Overtime ✅ Minimum Wage ✅ Pensions ✅ Sick Leave ✅ Maternity Leave ✅ Safety at work ✅ Paid holidays None of this was handed to us – they were fought for by workers standing together in solidarity. We have more to do. Are you with us? siptu.ie/join

After lengthy WRC negotiations, a set of proposals are on the table to progress the Section 39 pay dispute. Not all issues are resolved, but this is a step forward in securing fair pay and recognition Section 39 workers. A consultation process will now take place with members once the proposals issue for their consideration.

🚨 Section 39 talks adjourned until Monday. While progress was made we are disappointed that an overall set of proposals could not be finalised due to remaining gaps between the parties. In the absence of an agreement we will continue to progress our strike ballot.

Today marks an important step in our fight for pay justice for Section 39 members. The mandate from our membership is strong and clear. The ball is now firmly in the hands of the Government. They can turn their fine words into deeds and action. Nothing less will do.

Solidarity with the BIMM workers!
"The model proposed by BIMM removes job security, employment protections, and stable hours, leaving staff in a far more precarious position. Of particular concern to our members was BIMM Managements initial refusal to engage with IFUT or the Workplace Relations Commission. We welcome the recent progress announced in this dispute and hope a fair and sustainable resolution can be found." - SIPTU Education Sector Organiser, @karlosbyrne

Congratulations to @SIPTU member and trade union activist Senator @CosgroveNessa - a brilliant result.
There’s never been a Labour panel without @labour (ICTU) representation in the Seanad. Thomas Foran, Evelyn Owens, Marie Sherlock, Fintan Kennedy and many more staunch trade unionists were the voices of the movement in the upper house down the years. Very proud of @CosgroveNessa
