SIPTU has a clear message for public servants scheduled to work from home on Wednesday. Don't do it. Don't open your laptop. Don't check your emails. Don't teach online. Don't answer your phone. A strike only works when the work stops. Remote work is work. #UnionStrike

Budget 2027 is not the “workers’ budget” promised by Government. SIPTU General Secretary John King has described it as a “chaotic budget providing little relief for workers.” Full statement on siptu.ie

In ten days, SIPTU members across health, local government, State agencies and education will take to the picket line. This is about more than one dispute. It is about the cost of living, properly funded public services and better living standards for all working people.

At the heart of our dispute is a demand, most modest: working people should not be expected to fall further behind writes SIPTU's Adrian Kane.

Join us Saturday 10th to march against Israel’s ongoing genocide in Gaza in which it has slaughtered some 74,000 Palestinians, its ethnic cleansing in the West Bank, and to protest the Irish government’s continued refusal to hold the apartheid state accountable. #FreePalestine

When we launched this open letter it was 160 Irish athlete now it’s 250 supporting the call for a collective action of conscience from the Irish Men’s Senior Football team to #stopthegame. There is still time to do the right thing & cancel the game against Israel #boycottisrael

Public funding brings public accountability. ❝ The FAI cannot ask the State and the football community to support its plans while continuing to deny its own workers collective bargaining rights. SIPTU Deputy General Secretary Greg Ennis siptu.ie/siptu-calls-on-oire…

SIPTU calls on Oireachtas committee to challenge FAI over refusal to bargain with staff

SIPTU said the issue must be examined alongside questions about governance, public funding and the FAI’s handling of the Ireland–Israel fixtures.

Ireland shouldn't play Israel. It'll be a stain on our island and our history. Don't normalise genocide. #StopTheGame
