She also visited Trade Union Solidarity Centre of Finland (@sask.fi), whose work alongside the Finnish trade union movement plays a vital role in promoting decent work, strengthening labour rights, and tackling inequality globally.
Carol met with Trade Union Pro and Service Union United PAM to discuss collective bargaining, gender equality, the implementation of the Pay Transparency Directive and the Adequate Minimum Wages Directive, and the action plans being developed in our respective countries.
National Officer, Carol Scheffer and UNI World Women’s President delivered a speech on gender equality in working life. The scale of the Helsinki march shows just how urgently equality is needed and how strong our collective voice can be.
Standing in solidarity with Finnish trade unions on #IWD2026. ✊
Over 15,000 people filled the streets of Helsinki to demand gender equality and an end to violence and harassment at work. Proud to join this powerful movement for change.

Their demands include ending unfair dismissals, guaranteeing union leave, and securing direct involvement from Google Korea’s CEO. ✊📢
We stand in full solidarity with these workers as they fight for dignity, fairness, and a workplace where their voices truly matter. ✊
Workers at Google Korea are raising their voices.
After three years of stalled negotiations, the union warns it may escalate to an indefinite strike if the company fails to present a credible proposal on 12th March.
If you missed it yesterday, UNI Global Union launched their new manual on collective bargaining with a gender perspective — a tool to bring more women to the table and support unions in negotiations with employers. The CWU stands firmly with UNI Global Union in this work.
Following #InternationalWomensDay, we’re keeping the momentum strong: negotiate for equality!
From equal pay to safer workplaces, unions continue to deliver real change for women workers through collective bargaining.
International Women’s Day began with working women organising for better pay, safer workplaces and a voice.
Built through solidarity, strikes and trade union activism.
Today we honour those who fought before us — and the power of workers organising together.

No delays. Implement pay transparency by June 7.
#IWD2026 #EqualPay #PayTransparency #CWUIreland
Ahead of International Women’s Day, we’re calling on the Government to stand firm against employer lobbying to delay the EU Pay Transparency Directive.
Women in Ireland still earn around 90c for every €1 men earn on average. Pay transparency is a key step towards closing the gender pay gap.
Thank you to all members who attended the Dáil protest or contacted their TDs — your actions made a real impact. ✊

To everyone who marched, stood firm, and made their voices heard — thank you. Your courage and unity send a clear message: injustice will not be tolerated.
#PensionJustice #CWUIreland
This fight isn’t over. The CWU will keep up the pressure until pension increases are delivered. We stand with our retired workers — strong, united, and relentless.
These are not handouts — these are hard-earned entitlements. The strength of feeling was clear: our pensioners will not be ignored. After a lifetime of work and paying their dues, they deserve justice — not delays. ✊
Pensioners Turn Out in Huge Numbers Outside Leinster House!
Over 3,000 people stood shoulder to shoulder yesterday as CWU organised a massive protest against the government’s delay in pension increases owed to 20,000+ retired An Post & eir workers.
Outside the Dáil today, standing alongside retired An Post and Eir workers.
Agreed pension increases are being stalled while pensioners struggle through a cost-of-living crisis. This is unacceptable.
#CWUIreland #Anpost #eir
Despite commitments already made, thousands of retirees are still waiting for pension increases that were agreed but have yet to be implemented due to Government delays. Supported by the Communications Workers’ Union, pensioners are demanding that fair pensions are delivered without further delay.
Pensioners from An Post and Eir will gather outside the Dáil to protest unacceptable delays in implementing agreed pension increases — a story now being reported by RTE, TheJournal.ie, and The Irish Times.
#CwuIreland #Eir #AnPost #Justiceforpensioners
📢 Stand with An Post and Eir pensioners!
Rally at Dáil Éireann 10th Feb at 1 pm ✊
