Congratulations to President Michael D Higgins on his staunch defence of our longstanding public policy on Neutrality.

Has anyone pointed out that merely to keep pace with inflation (2.8%) the Old Age pension should have been increased by €6.95 in #Budget2022 ?

This Friday is the 109th anniversary of the founding of our Party in Clonmel. To mark it we've organised a special webinar on workers rights. What we've done and what we all still must do to build a new Workers' Republic.

❝ The statutory right to #sickpayforall is a key policy priority of the @Labour Party. We introduced a Bill that would make sure no worker would be out of pocket if they fall ill. We want to do away with the enormous financial implications of bad health. #NoGoingBack #MayDay2021

Across Europe, trade unions returned to the streets today to mark International Workers' Day for the first time since the pandemic began. https://t.co/3OSilWfj35

#MayDay was marked in Ireland as a public holiday for the first time in 1994, marking the centenary of trade unionism in Ireland @irishcongress #MayDay2021 https://t.co/7nKdRpQCE4

[Labour Trade Unionists @Labour_TU]

Wise words Patricia King on #MayDay2021 👏

❝ Many workers were ‘essential’ – it’s just that they were ‘undervalued’. That is a single symptom of the underlying problems we have and a reminder that there can be #NoGoingBack to the consensus of working life before the pandemic.

[The Labour Party Ireland @labour]

Happy May Day! Up the Workers! ✊🌹

Over a year into a global pandemic and six months since we called for #sickpayforall Ireland still hasn't got a statutory sick pay scheme. 🤒

Join us in the fight for better workers right.✊

An incredibly insightful keynote speech from @JOConnorTweets to the @Labour_TU AGM after a fantastic webinar.

As political descendants of Connolly and Larkin, it is imperative that we as socialists and trade unionist unite this island based on class and common identity 🚩

A #MayDay2021 message from @JOConnorTweets

"We must not leave the Future of Ireland to be decided between competing nationalism, Orange and Green."

Delighted to be at @labour Dublin North West meeting listening to ⁦@JOConnorTweets⁩ in his campaign for Chair of the party.

[Mayday 🚩 @MaydayIrl]

This afternoon the Mayday organising committee met with chair of @labour @JOConnorTweets - a great discussion on socialism and the future of Labour. @MaydayIrl presents us with a huge opportunity. Join Labour - join Mayday - https://t.co/U4zSDvcexI

[Andrew O’Brien @AndyMOBrien]

As @JOConnorTweets once said, ‘you can have the best Health and safety legislation in the world, but without enforcement, it isn’t worth the paper it’s written on.’

@TheHSA needs to be banging down the doors of every construction site and food processing plant across Ireland.

[Jack O'Connor @JOConnorTweets]

Just read the High Court SEO judgement. Devastating for tens of thousands of workers. Call a spade a spade. Brid Smith was 100% correct on this.

[Brid Smith @bridsmithTD]

Breaking news, judge on 210k worried sparks on 46k are earning too much and declares those earnings to be unconstitutional!
High Court rules wage legislation is unconstitutional https://t.co/UfvZa9aKWW

[Jack O'Connor @JOConnorTweets]

It hasn’t been a good day for my Party, #G2020 but there’s been a massive swing to parties standing on largely Democratic Socialist manifesto’s, which is an unquestionably good development. I salute them all.

[The Labour Party Ireland @labour]

It doesn’t have to be this way.

There is an alternative that will stop the waste of public money, build homes and fix health. We want to build an equal society. #VoteLabour for real solutions. #GE2020
