Fantastic Trade Union Day at University of Galway. Great engagement at the stands across campus and at our Information Seminar on Fixed Term Contracts, Specific Purpose Contracts and CID’s. Fabulous to see this engagement leading to several potential members joining as a result.

Great to be in attendance at seminar today celebrating 10 years of the WRC: A Decade of Impact, A Future of Fair Work and Equality. There were contributions highlighting stories from the frontline services, and the future of fair work & equality in Ireland and beyond.
