We're leaving X.
X isn't the space for workers' rights.
It's anti-union, anti-worker, and anti-democratic.
We're not backing down—we're just moving to where the fight matters.

#CWU #WorkersRights #Solidarity
On April 28th, we mark #WorkersMemorialDay — a time to remember the dead, fight for the living.
Last year, 34 people died in work-related incidents in Ireland. 9 so far this year. Thousands more injured or made ill.
Let’s honour them by taking action:
· Request safety inspections at all work locations.
· Hold a minute’s silence.
· Share photos of your tributes on social media.
Please use the hashtags #WorkersMemorialDay and #WMD25, and tag @TheHSA, @CIF_Ireland, and @ibec_irl.
Better and safer in a Union
Meet the Communications Workers’ Union Band — Ireland’s last remaining trade union band — as they rehearse, march, and carry on a powerful tradition of music, unity, and workers' pride. A moving tribute to heritage, resilience, and the rhythm of collective spirit.

Honoured to win the Forward Through Collective Bargaining Award at the UNI Europa Conference alongside FSU, SIPTU, and Mandate! 🏆
This award celebrates the ground-breaking @respectatworkie campaign, which put collective bargaining on the political agenda.
While we're proud of this recognition, the fight isn’t over—government action is needed.

Deputy General Secretary, Ian McArdle, addressed the UNI Europa conference in Belfast and spoke about the success of @respectatworkie campaign and the need for legislation to promote collective bargaining, protection for reps and access to trade union in work.
Communications Workers' Union (CWU) retweeted
Ian McArdle from @CWU on @respectatworkie: “During the last general election workers lobbied their candidates, knocking on doors demanding change. And it works. As a result, the majority of parliamentarians have committed to the pledge in support of collective bargaining.”
The CWU is very proud of Carol Scheffer, newly re-elected president of UNI Europa Women!
Her words inspire us to keep pushing for equality. Let's continue to stand together for progress and change!

CWU stands with U.S. postal workers and the NALC as they mobilize 295,000 members to fight Trump’s threat to privatize the USPS.
Their message is clear: "Hands off the Postal Service!"

A huge thank you to everyone who attended yesterday’s Breast Cancer Awareness session in partnership with @BreastCancerIre and @ePhoneWatch.
Together, we’re raising awareness, spreading hope, and empowering lives through education.

TikTok workers in Türkiye say they were fired by Telus after trying to unionise with @SendikasCagr—after watching traumatic content for work. ALL workers deserve safety!

📢Next week, over 600 union leaders from 50 countries meet in Belfast to build a stronger labour movement and celebrate 25 years of UNI Europa.
United, we will move forward through collective bargaining.
United, we will win real say and more pay for Europe’s service workers.
