I am coming back to this report by the European Federation of Food, Agriculture and Tourism Trade Unions that SIPTU contributed to. It states:

Violations of workers' rights are more frequent in the red meat industry – as it is poorly organised. The situation is slightly better in the pork and poultry industry where the level of unionization is higher. SIPTU will try to increase membership and negotiate a collective agreement that improves pay, ensures pension and sick pay for all meat workers in Ireland but the lack of engagement from the employers hinders any attempt to strengthen social dialogue.

Then, crucially, it states:

Access to site for trade unions is also extremely challenging. The employer doesn't have an obligation to bargain collectively even if high levels of union membership exist.

Has Ms McGinley ever encountered difficulty with site access or does she typically meet workers in the meat industry off-site?
