Irish Bakers' National Amalgamated Union[edit | edit source]

The Irish Bakers' National Amalgamated Union (IBNAU) is a trade union representing bakers in Ireland. It was established in 1920 with the aim of protecting the rights and interests of bakers across the country.

History[edit | edit source]

The IBNAU was formed as a result of the growing need for a unified voice for bakers in Ireland. Prior to its establishment, bakers faced numerous challenges, including long working hours, low wages, and poor working conditions. The union aimed to address these issues and improve the overall working conditions for bakers.

Activities[edit | edit source]

The IBNAU engages in various activities to support its members and promote their interests. These activities include:

Collective Bargaining: The union negotiates with employers on behalf of its members to secure fair wages, reasonable working hours, and improved working conditions.

Advocacy: The IBNAU represents bakers in discussions with government bodies, industry associations, and other relevant stakeholders to ensure that the concerns and needs of bakers are taken into account in policy-making processes.

Training and Education: The union provides training and educational programs to its members to enhance their skills and knowledge in the baking industry. This includes workshops on new baking techniques, food safety, and business management.

Health and Safety: The IBNAU works to ensure that bakers have a safe and healthy working environment. It advocates for the implementation of proper safety measures and regulations in bakeries to prevent accidents and occupational hazards.

Membership[edit | edit source]

Membership in the IBNAU is open to all bakers working in Ireland. The union welcomes both employed and self-employed bakers, as well as apprentices and trainees in the baking industry. Members benefit from the collective representation and support provided by the union.

Affiliations[edit | edit source]

The IBNAU is affiliated with various national and international trade union organizations, including the Irish Congress of Trade Unions (ICTU) and the International Union of Food, Agricultural, Hotel, Restaurant, Catering, Tobacco and Allied Workers' Associations (IUF).
