Lobbying returns published
by Martina O’Leary

Fórsa has submitted its latest set of returns to the body responsible for regulating political lobbying activity. Reflecting a busy period in the last quarter of 2020, the union submitted over 30 returns.

 

These reflected the union’s political communications on a wide range of issues including the impact of Covid-19 on aviation, PPE for frontline workers in health, education and aviation, the proposed public service agreement, Sláintecare, climate change, supports to carers, social dialogue and the remunicipalisation of local authority services.

 

Ongoing Fórsa campaigns on school secretaries, housing, the four-day working week and investment in higher education also featured.

 

On the international front, the union made representations on behalf of Palestinian children and the plight of Rohingya refugees.

 

You can get full details of Fórsa’s political lobbying activity HERE. Under the Regulation of Lobbying Act, virtually all lobbying activity undertaken by Fórsa staff must be reported.

 

It’s never been more important – or easier – to get the protections and benefits of union membership. Join Fórsa HERE or contact us HERE.
