Congratulations to President Michael D Higgins on his staunch defence of our longstanding public policy on Neutrality.
Has anyone pointed out that merely to keep pace with inflation (2.8%) the Old Age pension should have been increased by €6.95 in #Budget2022 ?

❝ The statutory right to #sickpayforall is a key policy priority of the @Labour Party. We introduced a Bill that would make sure no worker would be out of pocket if they fall ill. We want to do away with the enormous financial implications of bad health. #NoGoingBack #MayDay2021

Wise words Patricia King on #MayDay2021 👏
❝ Many workers were ‘essential’ – it’s just that they were ‘undervalued’. That is a single symptom of the underlying problems we have and a reminder that there can be #NoGoingBack to the consensus of working life before the pandemic.

Happy May Day! Up the Workers! ✊🌹
Over a year into a global pandemic and six months since we called for #sickpayforall Ireland still hasn't got a statutory sick pay scheme. 🤒
Join us in the fight for better workers right.✊

An incredibly insightful keynote speech from @JOConnorTweets to the @Labour_TU AGM after a fantastic webinar.
As political descendants of Connolly and Larkin, it is imperative that we as socialists and trade unionist unite this island based on class and common identity 🚩

This afternoon the Mayday organising committee met with chair of @labour @JOConnorTweets - a great discussion on socialism and the future of Labour. @MaydayIrl presents us with a huge opportunity. Join Labour - join Mayday - ourmayday.ie

As @JOConnorTweets once said, ‘you can have the best Health and safety legislation in the world, but without enforcement, it isn’t worth the paper it’s written on.’
@TheHSA needs to be banging down the doors of every construction site and food processing plant across Ireland.
Just read the High Court SEO judgement. Devastating for tens of thousands of workers. Call a spade a spade. Brid Smith was 100% correct on this.
Breaking news, judge on 210k worried sparks on 46k are earning too much and declares those earnings to be unconstitutional!

It hasn’t been a good day for my Party, #G2020 but there’s been a massive swing to parties standing on largely Democratic Socialist manifesto’s, which is an unquestionably good development. I salute them all.
Jack O'Connor retweeted
It doesn’t have to be this way.
There is an alternative that will stop the waste of public money, build homes and fix health. We want to build an equal society. #VoteLabour for real solutions. #GE2020
