Campaign for a fairer Employment Permit system

Are you on a Work Permit?

Do you currently hold an Employment Permit here in Ireland? Do you want to meet other workers and fight for your rights? Then join the campaign!

Our Employment Permits Campaign is calling on the Government to:

  • Provide workers on General Employment Permits (agricultural workers, chefs, healthcare assistants) the same rights as those on Critical Skills Permits (IT workers, engineers, doctors);
  • Give workers the right to full access to the labour market after two years instead of five, enabling workers to better challenge exploitation and sub-standard conditions;
  • Give workers the right to have their immediate family with them in Ireland and the right for their family members to work.

Sign up below to join our Employment Permits Campaign and to receive updates on other MRCI work such as advocacy, events and fundraising.
