Zusammenfassung
  • Ireland has comparatively low collective bargaining coverage in the European Union, making the EU Directive on Adequate Minimum Wages particularly significant. This report reviews the policy and practice on workplace access for trade union representatives in Ireland and contrasts it with approaches in countries like Australia, Germany, Romania, and Sweden. It also presents new findings from a comprehensive survey conducted for this report, highlighting the challenges trade union representatives face in organizing and representing workers, particularly in achieving union recognition. Union officials are optimistic about the Directive's potential to address these challenges, although its impact will depend on effective transposition. The report offers strategic recommendations to enhance union advocacy and foster a more equitable labour environment in Ireland.
