SIPTU and Employer Group jointly urge government to take action on EWC reform

Post-Brexit, many multinationals are looking to set up their EWCs in Ireland.

Ireland should be benefitting from multinationals moving their European Work Council (EWC) legal base from the UK to Ireland post-Brexit, but deficient legislation is causing problems, an Oireachtas Committee has heard.

Representatives of Siptu and the Brussels European Employee Relations Group (Beerg) voiced their concerns about issues caused by inadequate Irish legislation to deal with EWC disputes.
