The union believes it's moving here to get around the EU directive on European Works Councils
SIPTU is expressing concern over a US multi-national company moving its headquarters to Dublin, which it claims will undermine workers' rights.
The union will discuss the issue later this morning with European employee representatives from Verizon Communications Inc.
It believes it's moving here to get around the EU directive on European Works Councils, which would negatively affect workers' conditions in other EU states.
SIPTU EWC expert Denis Sheridan, says the legislation wasn't transposed properly into Irish law:
SIPTU is also highlighting the growing trend of companies based in other EU states and the UK, moving their headquarters to Ireland.
The union says this allows them to undermines workers' conditions of employment.
It says a change of legislation's needed to tackle the issue.
Denis Sheridan says firms who move to Ireland negatively affect workers' rights here and in the EU
