City meeting to hear call for end to exploitation of residential care staff
Galway bay fm newsroom – A meeting to be held in the city next week (Mar 20) will hear a call for an end to the exploitation of residential care workers.
It will be held in the Clayton Hotel next Thursday at 5.30pm, and is organised by Impact Trade Union.

IMPACT has lodged a formal complaint on the matter with the European Commission.
