General Election Pledge
In this General Election, it’s time to put workers’ rights on the agenda.
The Respect at Work campaign is calling for legislation to ensure that everyone has the right to stand up for better working conditions without fear of retribution from their employer.
We are asking politicians to make the following commitment:
“I pledge to support legislation which promotes collective bargaining, protects workplace representatives and ensures the right to access a trade union at work.”
In the coming days, we’ll be listing which parties and candidates have taken the pledge here.
You can find out who is offering their support by joining our mailing list!
If you are a politician who wants to sign the pledge, please contact the campaign at info@respectatwork.ie
