USI was renamed 'AMLÉ' (Aontas na Mac Léinn in Éirinn) on 13 May 2025. The rebrand reflects the desire of the organisation to promote the use of the Irish Language. The translation of 'Aontas na Mac Léinn in Éirinn' to English is 'Union of Students in Ireland'.
We have been involved in a number of campaigns to protect students working in hospitality.
Last year AMLÉ ran a survey and submitted to the Low Pay Commission on the issues of tipping practices. View that submission HERE.
We have also continued to work with two groups who are working on Tipping campaigns, ‘One Movement’ #MyTipsMyReward and the ‘Unite the Union’ #StopTipTheft campaign.
We have been involved lobbying policy advisors to influence legislation they are drafting, speaking at open meetings, organising door to door, protesting outside businesses and attending strategy meetings.
We met the Lord Mayor of Dublin to push the campaign further. He will be taking actions for us from that meeting.
