SIPTU Women on the Frontline of Covid - Eilish Balfe
Essential workers stood by us during our time of crisis. Now it's time that we stand up for them.
SIPTU members across the country are treating and caring for the ill and vulnerable, providing public transport, maintaining essential supply chains, manufacturing medical devices and medicines, collecting refuse, cleaning, retail workers, administrators, maintaining our critical infrastructure and carrying out numerous other forms of essential work. These SIPTU members are not only on the frontline of our response to the Covid-19 crisis but are the backbone of our economy and society.
