Report by IFUT

The Irish Federation of University Teachers (IFUT) is a trade union representing university staff across Ireland. It represents many grades across university branches including lecturers, researchers, tutors, librarians and other grades. IFUT is the only trade union in Ireland which exclusively organises workers in universities. In 2023, IFUT published a report titled "Precarious Employment in Higher Education in Ireland."

IFUT is currently in the process of revisiting the research to determine whether the situation is improving or worsening, strives to address the findings and engages with employers across the sector to secure improvements for union members.
