Ireland Headlines News

A number of private sector unions have joined forces to call for cross party-political support for greater protections for employees in the workplace.

The 'Respect at Work' campaign is urging the Government to ensure that workers have a legal right to organise a trade union in their workplace and are protected from discrimination and dismissal while doing so.

The campaign is timed to coincide with the required transposition of an EU directive on minimum wages and collective bargaining, which the Government must write into Irish law by November of this year. It is estimated that around 34% of workers in Ireland currently have their wages and conditions bargained collectively.

"We are calling for legislative change and the strongest possible transposition of this Directive in workers' best interests, not a watered-down version that renders it meaningless," Ms Buckley said.
