Dear members,  

We are encouraging you to take part in the Government’s public consultation on the right to request remote working. The consultation is open now and will remain open until Tuesday 9th December. 

Fórsa is making a collective submission on behalf our members, but it is important that individual workers make their own submissions, speak to their experiences and offer their views on the legislation.

We have heard from our members the many reasons why remote working has improved their lives. It has allowed them to spend more time with family, improved their well-being, and helped some get on the property ladder or take on a promotion they would otherwise be unable to.  

By adding your voice, you can help shape the future of remote work and improve access to remote and hybrid working for all workers. 

We will be holding a lunchtime online briefing to guide you through the public consultation process. This will take place on Tuesday 2nd December, from 1pm – 2pm.  

During the session, we will discuss everything you need to know to make a submission. We will also discuss some of the key questions asked in the survey and what we hope to achieve. 

If you wish to attend you can register for the online briefing here.

For any questions about the consultation or webinar you can email: campaigns@forsa.ie

In solidarity, 

Fórsa Campaigns Team
