| SIPTU Recovers Nearly €2m For Workers |
| SIPTU is the largest single user of Ireland's employment rights bodies – and has won almost €2 million in settlements for members since the start of the year. The figures were revealed by the union’s Membership Information and Support Centre (MISC) which advises and represents individual SIPTU members in disputes with employers. And further reflecting the volume of work carried out by the centre, SIPTU staff have attended 331 hearings as well as organised and taken part in 1,080 member consultations and meetings with employers since the start of January. Tom O’Driscoll, Head of the SIPTU Legal Rights Unit and MISC, told Liberty: "We are not shouting from the rooftops on this one because quite a lot of the cases we process are recession driven. "These are not happy statistics for the affected members who might have been unfairly dismissed, discriminated against, bullied or had their wages cut. But in each and every successful case, the value of trade union membership was seen to be borne out." He added:"What is most positive is that these figures are testimony to the fact that SIPTU offers its members effective and supportive advice and representation when it is most needed and furthermore that trade unions are more relevant than ever in times of austerity."
