[Employment] Email to all Oireachtas members seeking support on the "right to disconnect"

Public Officials Lobbied

{'name': 'Email All Oireachtas Members', 'role': 'The text was as follows:\n\nThe Financial Services Union is launching a major report on Technology, Work and Skills on October 10th at 10 am in Buswells Dublin. The report is called the “The Impact of Technology on Employees”. Speakers will include Dr Michelle O’Sullivan of University of Limerick.\n\nOne of the recommendations of the report is a right to disconnect from work and devices after working hours. We are launching our call for this at 10.30 am at the gates of Leinster House. We are calling for the passing of legislation to provide for the right to disconnect. We are making this call on World Mental Health Day because there is a direct link between the ‘always on’ work culture and work-related stress which causes many mental health problems. \n\nWe are inviting you to:\n\n• Join us at 10 am in Buswells for the launch of the report; and\n• Join us at 10.30 am at the gates of Leinster House for a photo launching this campaign.'}
