Remember government leaders over the weekend saying they support disability workers & others like them?

Today at talks on pay equality, government reps said they had NO MANDATE to address the issue.

Micheál Martin TD & @simonharrisireland.bsky.social - give them the mandate them. Immediately.

Fascinating research from the High Pay Centre - give them a follow

Over the weekend, a lot of people were angry at how a disability support worker was treated by Simon Harris. He apologised.

But in reality, workers like her are still fighting for equal pay.
And they are still not being treated fairly by the government.

Here's the backstory:

Trade #unions warn of 'union-busting' by employers.

69% of respondents had observed at least one form of anti-union behaviour by employers. www.rte.ie/news/2024/10...

We’re at the #UnityAndHope rally!

Those spreading fear and division don’t have anything to offer. But we do.

We fight for better pay, for your rights, for housing, for public services.

Join the side that wants a better Ireland for all, and actually does something about it.

❄️Applause for union members protesting in the freezing cold in Letterkenny today! 1000s across Ireland are voting in a ballot for industrial action.

The determination of health service workers is incredible. The de facto recruitment embargo is pushing the HSE to the brink & workers won't take it

I truly wouldn’t care if a man dressed like the king of England was in the urinal next to me. I get that for extremely online rightwingers, a trip to a public bathroom might be the most memorable moment of the day, but the rest of us truly do not give a shit who is peeing nearby.

The UK's strong welfare state led to people creating some of the greatest musical trends in history.
