The Irish Congress of Trade Unions (ICTU) has updated its website homepage  to incorporate some important new features that move the site towards a news platform model. One key feature is UnionNews.ie, which recently went live.

This is an entirely new service that displays news output and video from 19 different trade union sources, including IMPACT, in a single place. Sources include the major Irish unions and international federations like the European Trade Union Confederation and the International Trade Union Confederation.

The news content is grouped under ‘Ireland’ or ‘International’ and broken down by date, with the most recent news showing. News output is also organised according to individual affiliates. The aim is to make this the one stop, central location and reference for anyone seeking a quick update and overview of what unions are saying on major issues.
