IMPACT’s young members’ group will host an event focusing on the cost of living for young workers on Thursday 28th September. The event will take place from 1pm to 6pm, and is free of charge for IMPACT members.
The IMPACT young members’ group is open to all union members aged 35 or under, and seeks to highlight and promote issues of particular relevance to younger members of the union.
The spiralling costs of living in Ireland, including rents/mortgages, childcare, insurance costs and the cost of education, is a huge issue for young workers in Ireland today. This event hopes to highlight some of these issues, call for action, and develop an IMPACT young members’ campaign in this area.
