 2023

The 'Taking Charge of the Future: How trade unionists can lead the economic debate' seminar took place in the Fórsa offices on Wednesday 19 April 2023 from 15:30 - 16:30.

Michael Taft, Research Officer with SIPTU presented. As we enter into a period of uncertainty and overlapping crises (a ‘polycrisis’) we need a new, progressive and long-term framework to meet these challenges. And the trade union movement should be the driving agent.

Michael Taft, Research Officer with SIPTU discussed an Irish Rehn-Meidner model.  Subsequently, a discussion was open to the floor where the chairperson, NERI Co-director Dr. Tom McDonnell presented questions to the Michael.  Find the presentation from the seminar here.
