#Apprenticeships

Currently, 17, 18 and 19 year old workers can legally be paid just 70%, 80% or 90% of the minimum wage, respectively. Apprentices of any age can be paid even less than this - in their first year, only a shocking 56% of the minimum wage. This is why we introduced a bill to fix it. #MinimumWage #WorkersRights #Apprenticeships #Nospecificcountrycodescanbeidentifiedinthetweetprovided.

We'll be introducing our "National Minimum Wage (Equal Pay for Apprentices and Young Workers) Bill 2025" this afternoon in the Dáil. We're glad to have the support of ICTU, Unite the Union, and the NYCI for our bill. #MinimumWage #EqualPay #Apprenticeships #IE
