Fighting for Fairness – From Dublin to Brussels

Lynn believes that no one should be exploited for profit —
whether it’s a factory worker in Bangladesh, a nurse in Dublin, or a farmers in Brazil or Ballina. That’s why she’s a consistent voice in the European Parliament for trade justice, decent working conditions, and strong labour protections.

A fair deal for workers, everywhere

Lynn’s work focuses on ensuring trade agreements are rooted in economic and climate justice. She opposes trade agreements that undercut labour standards, and pushes for:

Binding labour rights in all EU trade deals
Strong protections for union organising
Living wages, safe conditions, and secure contracts
Support for workers during transitions
Ethical and sustainable supply chains

She also works to amplify the voices of workers and trade unions both in Ireland and across the EU.
