📢 Stand with An Post and Eir pensioners! Rally at Dáil Éireann 10th Feb at 1 pm ✊ #RespectRetirees #CWUIreland

After a lifetime of work, waiting months or even years for a pension increase is unacceptable. It’s time for the Government to approve Eir & An Post pension increases now. Rally at Dáil Éireann 10th Feb at 1 pm ✊ #RespectRetirees #CWU

Every year, pensioners wait for ministerial approval of already-agreed increases. It’s time to end this bureaucratic delay. Approve pensions now. Reform the process for good. Rally at Dáil Éireann 10th Feb at 1 pm ✊ #PensionReform #CWUIreland

The IFUT Executive, gathered today for a strategy session, sends its full solidarity to the @Covalen workers and the @cwuireland.bsky.social in their strike for fair pay, secure employment and respect at work. An injury to one is an injury to all. ✊ #Solidarity #CovalentStrike #CWU #TradeUnion

Government’s childcare plan guarantees more of the same. Scarce places, high fees and staff turnover are the result of keeping private operators sweet. Parents want a real public childcare model with quality, affordability and stability, not more market failure.

On January 21st, the CWU hosted a Men’s Health seminar in Union Head Office. The seminar was jointly sponsored by Medisan and featured presentations from the Marie Keating Foundation and the Oesophageal Cancer Fund.

Abolish sub-minimum wage rates for young workers now! The CWU fully supports the call from ICTU for the Government to stop delaying and to fully implement the recommendations of the Low Pay Commission.

CWU pensioners are paying the price for government inaction. In September 2025, An Post unions secured a 7% pension increase. An Post applied to the Department in October 2025, but still no approval. #CWUIreland #AnPost

Bad bosses go on the naughty list Covalen’s bosses are channelling their inner Grinch this Christmas season. Instead of spreading Christmas cheer, they’re serving up a corporate Scrooge moment, turning what should be a time of joy into a season of uncertainty.

December 3rd is International Day of Persons with Disabilities. Established by the UN in 1981, this day reminds us to continue building awareness and understanding of disability issues and to reaffirm our shared commitment to ensuring the dignity, rights, and well-being of people with disabilities.

CWU supports UNI in calling for action to stop Technology-Facilitated Gender-Based Violence. TFGBV is any form of abuse enabled or amplified through digital tech and it’s rising fast.

On Nov 20, Googlers are taking part in a Day of Action & Visibility to demand something basic: real job security. After years of mass layoffs and shrinking severance despite strong company finances workers are tired of the uncertainty. #GoogleWorkers #GoogleDayOfAction #DATACWU

This International Men’s Day, we’re shining a light on men’s mental health. In Ireland, 75% of suicides are men, and research shows men are far less likely to seek help for depression, anxiety, or thoughts of suicide. #CWUIreland #InternationalMensDay

🚙🚍🚶‍♀️“I spend a total of 4 hours commuting to & from the office on a normal day.” TikTok workers in Ireland face brutal daily commutes. This is not sustainable. Solidarity with @cwuireland.bsky.social Ireland fight for hybrid work rights.

Current family reunification rules have been separating migrant workers from their children and spouses for years. This is anti-family, anti-worker, and unacceptable. On World Children’s Day, we’re calling for fair, humane reform. Join the rally: 20 Nov, 12 pm, Leinster House.

CWU welcomes the European Court of Justice ruling confirming the EU’s Adequate Minimum Wage Directive as legally binding. This makes it clear that fair pay and collective bargaining are not optional; the Irish Government must now act to improve working standards. #CWUIreland #MinimumWageDirective

We’re delighted to announce the appointment of Laura McKenna as e-Comms National Officer and Diarmuid O’Connell as Postal/Courier National Officer

The scapegoating of An Post and the charges being made against it lack all credibility. In a strongly worded letter, CWU GS, Seán McDonagh, challenges recent claims linking An Post to the collapse of Fastway Couriers, describing such analysis as “way too convenient and completely inaccurate.”

No tricks, just fair treatment. ✊ This Halloween, the real fright shouldn’t come from your payslip or your workload. Every worker deserves fair pay, respect, and job security. When we stand together, there’s nothing to fear. The CWU is here to make sure you’re treated fairly all year round.

Workers Deliver the Parcels, but Fastway Don’t Deliver on Pay. The company behind Fastway Couriers Ireland has gone into receivership, putting around 300 jobs at risk and leaving hundreds more drivers in limbo.

Behind every AI system are real people, workers who keep online spaces safe.

CWU Recognising World Mental Health Day Everyone faces stress at work, but with the right support, people can recover and thrive. #CWU #WorldMentalHealthDay

Budget 2026: Breadcrumbs for Workers, Handouts for Corporate Giants A 65c minimum wage rise and tiny USC tweak won’t cut it. Freezing tax bands drags more workers into higher rates. Meanwhile, the government slashes VAT for the hospitality sector, lining the pockets of McDonald’s and Starbucks.

📢 Calling all trade union members 📢 We invite all trade union members to take part in a brief survey on occupational pensions and retirement expectations, conducted as part of the Young Scientist Competition. 🔗 https://shorturl.at/dVBmf #YoungScientistCompetition #CWU

Budget to force workers to bailout the hospitality sector at a cost of €600 per worker According to promises made by this Government, Budget 2026 is set to give a massive handout to the hospitality sector at the cost of support for every worker in the country.

📢 TikTok cuts paternity leave & insists staff back in office five days a week. This move undermines family rights and work-life balance. Changing leave entitlements while demanding full office presence shows a lack of respect for workers’ needs.
