Join the movement for a tech sector that puts workers first
Digital and Techworker Alliance (DATA), part of the Communications Workers’ Union, is run by and for our members in the tech sector, working to build a united voice for workers in individual companies, the sector, and society at large.
We believe a union is more than a form you sign or an office in the city: our union is a community of workers standing together, building real power, and shaping a fairer world for all.
Why Join DATA?
When you become a member of DATA, you’re joining a movement of workers in tech who are building workplace unions, supporting one another with our issues, and organising for a real say in our working lives.
Together, we’re building a better, fairer future for everyone in our industry. Here are some of the things we work for together.
- Democracy in the workplace - where every worker has a say
- Better pay and better conditions - where every worker is treated with respect and can afford a decent life
- Equal opportunities - where every worker can excel regardless of race, religion, gender
- Health and safety in the workplace - where every worker has a safe & secure job
- Collective strength - where workers stand together to win what we deserve
Remember, in Ireland, you have a constitutional right to be a trade union member. No contract stipulation or workplace culture can stop you from joining, seeking support from your union, and organising with your coworkers. Your employer won’t be notified you’ve joined and won’t know you’re a member – unless you tell them!
As a member-run organisation, we’re funded by workers like you – we all pay 16 euros per month as an investment in our own power. This covers our staff organiser support, leaflets, banners, and ultimately provides the resources we need to face up to some of the most powerful companies in the world.
Becoming a member is easy. Sign up, add your details, join your co-workers in building a future where work in tech isn’t just about shareholder profits – it’s about respect, dignity and democracy. The cost of membership is €16 per month.
Please note: A member is considered to be “In Benefit” after eight (8) weeks’ contributions
have been paid. This means you must have 8 consecutive weeks of paid dues to be eligible to avail of union representation and specific member benefits. Preexisting issues will be reviewed at the discretion of the union.
