Following the unanimous endorsement of the CWU motion at the ICTU conference in Belfast, ICTU affiliated unions are supportive of the Respect at Work campaign calling for new laws to promote
collective bargaining, protect trade union members from victimisation, and guarantee every worker the right to access their union at work.
