Fórsa and SIPTU met yesterday (6^th November) to agree next steps in their campaign for Community Employment (CE) supervisors after the Government reneged on a commitment to present proposals present proposals to address the non-implementation of a 2008 Labour Court recommendation.

Fórsa and other unions are in discussions with Irish Aviation Authority (IAA) management on three important matters, with talks expected to run into the New Year, according to official Johnny Fox.

The long-awaited auto-enrolment pension system is to be introduced on a phased basis from 2022, according to a recent announcement from the Department of Employment Social Affairs.

The Irish Congress of Trade Unions (ICTU) has teamed up with the National Women’s Council of Ireland (NWCI) to jointly demand that the Government commits to passing the Gender Pay Gap Information Bill before Christmas. The legislation has effectively stalled, making no progress since before the Dáil’s summer recess.
