At #IFUTADC2025, DR Michelle O'Sullivan @unioflimerick.bsky.social made the case for trade union renewal—linking strong unions to workplace fairness, occupational control, and democratic health. The opportunity is clear: renewal means relevance, power, and protection for the next generation.
📉 “Union density is falling and free riding is rising”—Prof. John Geary at #IFUTADC2025.
