Positive dialogue with John King, General Secretary of Ireland's Services, Industrial, Professional & Technical Union.
We discussed the state of social dialogue, the impact of #AI on jobs, and ensuring workers’ protection & decent wages, including through collective bargaining.
At the EPIC Annual Technical Meeting 2026 in Dublin, ITUC joined trade unions and other partners to highlight the critical role of social dialogue and collective bargaining in advancing pay equity.
Collective bargaining gives workers a voice in setting fair and transparent wages, while strong social dialogue helps turn commitments on equal pay for work of equal value into concrete progress in the workplace.
Pay equity is not only about policies — it is about workers having a voice and the power to negotiate collectively.

🚴📱 As platform work continues to reshape labour markets, ensuring that technology serves people—not the other way around—has never been more important.
In this interview with Monica Tepfer @ituc, she explains why the new ILO Convention on Decent Work in the Platform Economy is a landmark achievement for workers' rights and algorithmic accountability.
🗣️ “The discussion is no longer about whether platform workers deserve rights, but how those rights will be implemented and enforced.”
The convention establishes international standards on algorithmic management, transparency, collective bargaining and the right to human review of key automated decisions—an important step towards ensuring that innovation goes hand in hand with dignity at work.

Platform workers around the world are demanding what every worker deserves: safety, fair pay, transparency, and dignity on the job.
As global leaders meet to shape a new international treaty on platform work, drivers and delivery workers are making sure their voices are heard. The future of work must include rights for all workers — online and off.

On #InternationalMigrantsDay 2025, the ITUC reaffirms:
✊ Rights-based migration governance is key to social justice and democracy.
🗣️ “Migrants are not a threat. They are workers, families, and members of our communities. When human rights are denied because of one’s migration status, democracy itself is weakened for all.” – @luc_triangle, ITUC General Secretary

🌍 Today is International #HumanRightsDay.
For Lee Cheuk-yan, it's Day 1,699 behind bars. 🕯️
Lee is a courageous labour leader imprisoned since April 2021 for organising peaceful pro-democracy protests in 🇭🇰 Hong Kong.
Now, he faces unjust charges of "inciting subversion of state power" — carrying a sentence of up to 10 years. ⚖️ His trial is set for 22 Jan 2026.
Before his sentencing, Lee said:
🗣️"I am proud I can walk with the people of Hong Kong on the road to democracy. We will walk together even in darkness with hope in our heart."
Today, let’s remind him — and the world — he’s not alone. ✊
Raise your voice for justice, for democracy, for Lee.

FIFA’s so-called “peace prize” was awarded to US President Donald Trump against a backdrop of violent detentions of immigrants, national guard deployments in US cities+the obsequious cancellation of @FIFAcom’s own anti-racism and anti-discrimination campaigns ahead of the #WorldCup2026; @HRW:

Congrats to the @PregnancyLossIE group on the publication of these fantastic resources on pregnancy loss in the workplace.
Coming up to 2 years since the recommendations for Government were published it's time for DCDE and DETE to implement them in full.

🚨 The ITUC condemns the violent Israeli raid on the offices of the Palestinian General Federation of Trade Unions (PGFTU) in Nablus, Occupied West Bank.
🗣️“Trade unions are a force for peace, dialogue, and negotiation. They are not military targets.” @luc_triangle
This assault is a violation of international law and the fundamental right to freedom of association.
The ITUC calls for:
🔍 An independent, transparent investigation
⚖️ Full accountability for those responsible
✊ Full solidarity with Palestinian workers and the PGFTU
Peace is not built through violence — but through justice, rights, and respect for international law.

Proposals before the European Parliament would undermine corporate accountability & threaten workers' rights globally.
The Omnibus I proposal from Rapporteur Warbon (EPP) would prioritise corporate profits over human rights.
We are urging all Irish MEPs to oppose it.
