Commenting ahead of the leaders\u2019 address tonight, the party\u2019s co-leader R\u00f3is\u00edn Shortall TD said:<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFar too many of our young people are locked out of secure employment, decent conditions and fair pay.\u00a0 Increasing globalisation raises huge questions about the future of employment which too often appears like a race to the bottom.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe driving down of standards in work through low pay, zero-hour contracts, bogus self-employment and the growth of the gig economy all pose major challenges for our society, and for young workers in particular.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAll workers should have a right to expect that hard work is properly rewarded, that work-life balance is possible, and that they can have a legitimate expectation that a decent job will allow you to live a decent life.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Deputy Shortall said the Social Democrats were calling on the government to introduce a new deal for workers by legislating to:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>End precarious working arrangements;<\/li>\n<li>Introduce a living wage;<\/li>\n<li>Strengthen rights to collective bargaining;<\/li>\n<li>Close the gender pay-gap;<\/li>\n<li>End the blatant discrimination against young new entrants into our public service.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Deputy Shortall added:<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt is shocking that we still have to call for equal pay for equal work. No wonder we have shortages in nursing and teaching. A New Deal for young workers must be one which recognises their value in every sector and their need for security and pay equality.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Fair pay and conditions are also vital if we are to achieve high productivity and quality employment evident in other countries where social democracy is at the heart of their politics.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>27 January 2018<\/p>\n<p>ENDS<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Social Democrats have called for a \u2018New Deal for young workers\u2019 to end the dumbing down of pay and conditions and remove barriers to good quality employment.
