Yesterday's strike showed the reality that it's workers, with public sector workers at their heart, that makes our society run.
No weather forecast, no Dáil, no schools, no street cleaning, massively reduced hospitals.

@paulmurphy.pbp.ie"Streets not getting cleaned, the Dáil not sitting, the weather not being forecast. You see the power of public sector workers."
The reason for the level of support is clear - people get it. A win for public sector workers is a win for all!
@msuibroin.bsky.socialIf you are working from home and cannot attend outside your county for whatever reason, ask the local workplace rep or union rep to allow you to join the strike locally. #uptheworkers
@sharrow.eurosky.socialMake sure you email your TDs and tell them you support the workers Striking. #uptheworkers #speirgorm

@stephanenny.bsky.socialMyself & my senior infant (with baby in tow) did a wee tour of the local pickets and honked away while I explained strikes to her. Then we picked up her sister from preschool and made buns for her teachers before walking down to give them out at the picket line. #uptheworkers
