Support access to employment for Non-EEA PhD students' spouses in Ireland.
Allowing spouses to work helps alleviate financial strain, supports academic focus, and helps stress.
Sign the petition to promote fairness and inclusivity.

Despite promising a stipend increase to €25,000 per annum for @SEAI_ie funded researchers, members in @MaynoothUni @UCC @uniofgalway and @tcddublin have yet to receive this.
All such pay disparities and underfunding of PhD researchers must end.

These are the children who were living in the tents before Israeli airstrikes burned them to the ground in Rafah.
They don’t know which children are still alive from this video.

‘Israeli universities are complicit in #GazaGenocide & unis that fund/engage with them must be held accountable. We can declare all our universities apartheid free & remake higher education for liberation. There’s no academic freedom until it applies to all of us’ @mayaywind 1/2
20 years ago @PACBI called for the boycott of Israeli universities. Responding to this call, I wrote a book investigating Israeli universities' complicity in settler colonialism. Towers of Ivory and Steel: How Israeli Universities Deny Palestinian Freedom is out today @VersoBooks
PWO Galway retweeted
The bombing of Rafah is an atrocity and a direct breach of the orders of the International Court of Justice.
Still a deafening silence from @vonderleyen and EU leaders.
Enough is enough, we must end the EU-Israel Association Agreement and implement an arms embargo now.
Massive step and so much respect for our colleagues in Dublin
After two years of campaigning and protesting, PGR rights are still systematically overlooked in Trinity. We are preparing to go on strike. #PGR_STRIKE
Who needs a Creativity Institute with all this creativity already on display? @PWO_Ireland @UniOfGalwaySU @uniofgalway

Researchers! Join PWO and @UniOfGalwaySU at 4pm at the Bailey Allen to let prospective postgrads know about the harsh reality of studying here! A huge thank you to @UniOfGalwaySU for solidarity with PhD workers. #PGRsDeserveBetter #ResearchIsWork @PWO_Ireland

Postgrad workers @uniofgalway will be joining today's Global General Strike in solidarity with #Palestine. We call on our members to join us & to wear a symbol of international solidarity.
Worker and Student Strike for Palestine.
As the horrors continue to rain down on Gaza, many political leaders and states continue to show their support for the Israeli apartheid regime. 1/n
ALT Text: Call for a global general strike Text: Friday 20th, October Graphic: PWO Lógó Text:In response to the ongoing humanitarian crisis in Gaza PWO Ireland is calling on our members to support the Global General Strike this Friday. We would also encourage our members to wear symbols of support for Palestine. A strong, clear message needs to be sent to leaders globally that their failures on this crisis are unacceptable.
ALT Long text post with further information about the global strike call, emphasising the need for workers and students to join together to send a clear message and that this form of civil disobedience can generate real change.
Together with @UniOfGalwaySU & BeyondBordersSoc, there will be a #Palestine Solidarity Discussion session in the Hub from 12-2

We'll believe when we see it @MichealMartinTD - pay increases for some but status quo for others is not "support"
Give us ALL a living wage for the work we do. Support our call for worker status + access to rights all other workers enjoy, then we'll talk.
#PGRsDeserveBetter – at Dublin City, Ireland
Today's protest🪧@uniofgalway has called on @DeptofFHed to immediately increase PhD stipends as an urgent interim measure & to incorporate the recommendations of the #PhDNationalReview into next year's budget. Read our press release below #PGRsDeserveBetter

Many thanks to @gbayfm for covering today's protest in #Galway. Listen to postgrad workers' demands below.

PhDs deserve better. We teach, we drive research, we are critical to the functioning of the university sector.
