CWU General Secretary Seán McDonagh joined Newstalk's The Hard Shoulder to speak about the ongoing dispute involving Covalen workers and the unacceptable conditions surrounding the redundancy process.

With hundreds of workers facing uncertainty, Seán highlighted the serious concerns around the treatment of Covalen staff during this redundancy process. CWU continues to stand with Covalen workers as they fight for dignity, respect and fair treatment.

Today, Friday 29th May, Covalen workers are once again taking strike action as they continue to fight back against the announcement of 720 redundancies and the ongoing two-tier treatment of outsourced workers.

Covalen workers will be protesting outside the Meta and Covalen offices to demand fairness, dignity and accountability in the face of AI-driven restructuring and mass job losses.

For months, workers have raised concerns about the lack of respect shown to outsourced staff who have helped build and support these platforms for years, only to now face uncertainty, redundancy and a six-month cooling-off period that delays access to jobs they are fully qualified to do.

These workers are not disposable. They deserve transparency, respect and fair treatment from both the companies involved and the Government.

Solidarity with all Covalen workers taking action today. ✊

Their voices deserve to be heard.

Covalen workers will take their final day of strike action this Friday, 29th May, from 1 PM at the Covalen offices on Haddington Road.

Workers from the United Tech and Allied Workers (UTAW) have sent a message of support to Covalen workers.

As workers face the threat of hundreds of redundancies, international solidarity from fellow tech workers sends a clear message: workers standing together are stronger.

To every Covalen worker on the picket line — your fight is being seen and supported.
