ICTU urged to renew effort to secure right to collective bargaining

The Irish Congress of Trade Unions’ biennial conference in Dublin must mark “the beginning of a renewed effort to secure the right to collective bargaining for all workers”, according to general secretary Patricia King.

In her speech to delegates, Ms King said ICTU should campaign vigorously for the adoption of an EU Directive “to harmonise the laws of EU member States on Collective Bargaining and thereby establish the right to bargain in Irish Law”.
