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.

Currently, workers under the age of 21 have a lower minimum wage than the rest of the working population. This is grossly unfair and out of line with how the majority of EU member states treat younger workers.

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.

Today, our members at Covalen, a contractor for Meta are on strike for a fair salary review and proper role recognition. These workers have been consistently undervalued and wrongly graded.
Their message is clear: fair pay, fair grading, and fair treatment. We stand with them every step of the way.

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.

When profit drives design, platforms like TikTok put engagement over safety.
But these machines don’t have families, parents, children, or siblings they love and want to protect. Workers do. And workers know the value of safe online spaces.
