What does Fórsa Left stand for?

A handy 🧵 for reference:

1) The repeal of the 1990 industrial relations act and the end of social partnership.

We want a fighting union, with reps who truly represent our interests rather than just cosying up to govt

[Fórsa Left @ForsaLeft]

Fórsa Left endorse Catherine Connolly for the presidency as a pro-Palestine, pro-neutrality, pro-worker candidate.

@forsa_union_ie should follow the example of other unions and trade union activists by doing the same.

[Fórsa Left @ForsaLeft]

Fairplay to Wicklow Health Branch!

We need to bring the Palestine movement into the workplace.

Talk to your colleagues about organising a walkout for Palestine.

[Fórsa Left @ForsaLeft]

If you're a healthcare worker in Fórsa and you're sick of waiting for your union to organise the strike you voted for, join Fórsa Left today

[Fórsa Left @ForsaLeft]

Healthcare workers voted to strike due to increasingly dangerous staffing levels. This is a result of the longstanding drive by the state/HSE to privatise.

So what's the hold up? @forsa_union_ie 🤔

[Fórsa Left @ForsaLeft]

you can organise talks on unions as political orgs, they can get Jane McAlevey (RIP) (wrote about how community and worker movements are indivisible) to come to conference and do a workshop, that's all well and good.

But when will this be reflected in your organising strategy?

[Fórsa Left @ForsaLeft]

ICTU/Fórsa have consistently shown no willingness to mobilise people on housing through Raise the Roof.

Fórsa's members are facing eviction and skyrocketing rents.

Come out and defend your members @forsa_union_ie

[Irish Nurses & Midwives Organisation @INMO_IRL]

This lunchtime healthcare staff at Our Lady of Lourdes Hospital are calling for safe staffing levels. Patients deserve a public health service that ensures safe and timely care.

[Fórsa trade union @forsa_union_ie]

Huge turnout for the 3rd protest by HSE employees, in Drogheda & Tullamore.

The determination at the protests is growing & growing. Frontline workers know the Pay & Numbers Strategy is the recruitment embargo under another name.

And they won't stand for it #ServicesAreSuffering

[Red Media @RedMediaIreland]

10 years ago today 120,000 marched on water charges.

We need same again on housing but our unions need to pull the finger out.

Mass movements like water can make a right wing government surrender and discipline the likes of Sinn Féin when they hesistate.

Remember our power.

[The Ditch @wereontheditch]

Since last week The Ditch has twice alerted government to the illegal carriage of munitions to Israel on a FedEx flight route from Memphis to Cologne

We can confirm that yesterday’s flight – which flew over Ireland – was carrying IDF munitions for delivery to Nevatim air base

[Fórsa Left @ForsaLeft]

We need as many signatures as positive signatures to put housing to the fore https://t.co/AhPo4vd4c8 via @UpliftIRL

[Fórsa Left @ForsaLeft]

Unions need to push for a massive housing protest before the next budget

Fascists pose an existential threat to unions + migrant workers

Start acting like it. Bring people out onto the streets, direct blame where it lies

The govt, developers, vulture funds, landlords

[Fórsa trade union @forsa_union_ie]

We stand with communities.
We stand with migrants.
We stand with ALL workers.

Anyone peddling racism instead of real solutions doesn't care about you or your family.

After the violence last night in Dublin, we're again calling on workers of Ireland to reject hatred & division.

[Fórsa Left @ForsaLeft]

Beware of any politician who tells you they want to "house the Irish first." They might just turn out to be a parasite landlord. People like Michael Leahy are why we haven't got anywhere to live.

Ireland is not full. We have 160K vacant properties and a landlord govt.

[The Ditch @wereontheditch]

An Irish Freedom Party European candidate uses a fake name to run a rent pressure zone Airbnb in a converted office space for almost €1,000 a week

Michael Leahy says he’s “passionate” about “making it affordable for people to access the housing market”

We were delighted to get some progressive motions passed on Palestine, housing and opposing the far-right at the year's conference, including Fórsa's affiliation to @lecheiledn

“The nightmare of an apocalyptic world has come. Machines hunting down people. Weaponized AI is already being used in Gaza. The Palestinian people are the experiment for this insane and deeply flawed and dehumanizing technology.”

[🇵🇸 Finbar Lynch 🇱🇧 @deadflegblues]

Proud moment today helping a couple of zionist motions get defeated at the @forsa_union_ie conference

Referenced "human shields"+ "the Israel-Hamas conflict." May have seemed a sensitive issue to some delegates but I'm delighted we passed various concrete pro-BDS motions instead

[Fórsa Left @ForsaLeft]

We'll be meeting at Brehon's tonight at 6pm!

Deadline for voting on the public sector pay deal is today at noon.

The proposed deal doesn't match inflation, even over the past three years.

95% of Fórsa members surveyed last year said they would ballot for industrial action in this scenario.

Vote no. Fight for better.
