Irish shoppers spent more than €700 on Christmas presents this year, a 33% increase from 2020. Chances are, many gifts will end up in the unwanted pile – but as every penny counts this year, it's important to make sure nothing goes to waste. Here are Switcher.ie's top tips when it comes to dealing with unwanted gifts: 1. Try for an in-store refund: Always try for a refund or exchange if you have a gift receipt. Although they're not legally required to give you one, some shops will accept your return and provide a refund, exchange or credit note as a gesture of goodwill. 2. Check for faults: Although you don't have the same legal rights as the person who bought the gift, if it's not fit for purpose or faulty and if you have the receipt, you should be able to get an exchange or refund. 3. Ask if it was bought online: Online shoppers are entitled to a 14-day cooling-off period because they can't view before paying. If you're comfortable asking, check if your gift was bought online. 4. Consider selling: If you can't refund or exchange your gift, consider selling it online on a site like Done deal, Adverts, Amazon or Depop for clothing. 5. Look at regifting: Consider keeping your unwanted gifts for upcoming birthdays or special occasions – you never know, it might save you forking out for something new. 6. Decide to donate: Consider donating the gifts to a local charity, school, or community group. Before donating, see if they will accept your gift first. 7. Do a swap: Some apps like Irish app Nuw, allow you to swap or lend your like-new clothes. You could also organise or attend a swap-shop event, or just organise one with your own friends and family. Eoin Clarke, commercial director of Switcher.ie, comments: “With so many of us scrambling to cut corners this year, it's important to avoid waste at all costs. Even if something is gifted, you should always try for a refund or exchange – some shops might accommodate you as a gesture of goodwill.” “If you're comfortable asking the gift giver, find out if the gift was bought online, as they may have extra refund rights. Selling online or regifting are other ways to save money and reduce waste – while donating to charities and schools helps support local communities.” More about Irish Tech News Irish Tech News are Ireland's No. 1 Online Tech Publication and often Ireland's No.1 Tech Podcast too.

Investors are tightening up after the market crash this year, they are now more careful than ever to back companies that they truly believe in. It is exciting to see that new investors are popping up around the world, but also that large institutions have faith in fashion tech. Big institutions like Goldman Sachs, are able to bring in more institutional investors and guide them through the process of selecting which companies to invest in. That being said, how do startup founders stand out? How do they find the right investors and secure investment? Our co-hosts, Peter Jeun Ho Tsang and Von N. Ruzive, joined by special guest, Bethany Greer, answer these questions and more in this podcast episode! In this episode we highlight these tips about what founders need to do to get their startup fundraising done, as well as others. Before founders begin to fundraise, they need to have a roadmap for how they plan to allocate their money, and be strategic with it. Furthermore, this means it will also be necessary for founders to start penny-pitching and lean on their fellow-founders for advice and empathy. Thirdly, founders need to search for investors with portfolios in which they will fit. They need to ask themselves, “do I see myself fitting in here?”  Our special guest, Bethany, worked at the Centre for Fashion Enterprise in London, supporting retail and sustainability tech startups to secure investment and scale their businesses. She is now a Venture Partner at Bethnal Green Ventures, backing and supporting early-stage tech for good fund companies like Nuw and Birdsong. We are so happy that she joined us for this podcast episode and hope you are intrigued by her thoughts on investments, fashion tech, and her advice for founders! Support the Show.--------The show is recorded from Beyond Form, a venture studio building & investing in fashion tech startups with ambitious founders.

Welcome to the first-ever episode of What Does Green Really Mean?! This week, meet Aisling Byrne, founder of NUW, the clothes swapping app that makes fashion unlimited, sustainable and affordable.By swapping clothes on the app like you would with a friend, you have access to the wardrobe of the whole country. You can try new outfits as often as you like, without contributing to landfill and minimising your carbon footprint. Aisling's journey to build Nuw began with a trip to India in 2013, shortly after the Rana Plaza disaster in Bangladesh, where 1132 people were killed in a building collapse that housed five garment factories. She saw the dark side of an industry that she loved, first hand, and has since worked to change it. I loved talking to Aisling for this episode, and I'm sure you will love her too. She says: “you can't guilt people into making change, you have to provide the solution”.  I hope you enjoy listening!You can join us on Twitter @greenreallymean and if you love listening to us, please rate review and subscribe wherever you're listening.

From clothes to cars and buildings, all our new 'stuff' takes energy and resources to produce. If we want to cut down the use of high carbon materials like steel and cement then we need a new attitude. We need to think about sharing more and valuing what we have, we need products that are designed to last longer. Tom Heap meets Aisling Byrne from clothing app NUW. Concerned about the impact of fast-fashion on the environment, she found that lecturing friends who loved fashion didn't change their minds or behaviour, so she's designed a clothes-sharing app for people to put unwanted clothes into new hands and get the excitement of something 'new' in return. It can stop the demand for brand new products at the top end and avoid landfill at the other end. Professor Julian Allwood of Cambridge University expands on how much our desire for bigger and better is impacting on resources and how behaviour change needs to come sooner rather than later.

I was thrilled to be joined by guest investor, Alex Dunsdon. Alex was previously head of central strategy and business development director for M&C Saatchi. He was also co-founder of thebakery.com from Dec 2012 to Jan 2020, which enables corporates to drive meaningful innovation, as well as creating partnerships with startups. Alex moved on to be chief of staff at Redbrain, one of Europe's fastest-growing companies, helping them transform from startup to scaleup. Currently, Alex set up, and is partner at, Saatchi invest and is LP for Potential Climate Ventures who want to have a global scale impact on the climate - currently invested in and advising over 130 companies.

Alex was also a seed cheque investor into Citymapper, Farewill and Ometria, as well as circa 20 other companies. Alex is also very keen on cryptocurrency so we bent his year at the start of the episode on all things Bitcoin and beyond. We listened to the pitch from Aisling Byrne, founder of Nuw, who are looking to help their users reduce the environmental impact of fashion, and gain unlimited access to the community's shared wardrobe. While there are other fashion swapping/2nd hand fashion sites out there, Nuw have used a unique token system to ensure users trade the same quality of clothes, while taking money out of the whole equation. They have some very positive early traction including high repeat usage rates and are raising funds to help scale the product and market with the aim of having 12m active users over the next 3-5 years. We dug deep on scaling a marketplace, the revenue model, subscriptions, competition and feasibility of scaling the userbase so quickly.

Bright colours might be in, but fashion and glamour have a dark side, with textiles and accessories being a major contributor to environmental damage. Today we speak with Aisling Byrne, co-founder of Nuw, a clothes-swapping app built on community ideals. We open the conversation by taking a look at Nuw’s inception, as Aisling details the characteristics of fast fashion and why it’s so important to adopt a new model of fashion. Aisling then rips the sheet off and exposes a problem which hides in many of our cupboards. She goes on to explain the toxic creation process that goes into creating the 100 billion new pieces of fashion and glamour that are made every year, before touching on the broader impacts of this industry. You’ll learn about the production methods behind cotton, silk and polyester, and how each has a consequence on water consumption as well as on chemical and plastic pollution. We then look at the end of fashion and glamour’s lifecycle, as Aisling touches on landfills and supplies us with startling facts about donations and clothing charities. Yet, the future is bright, and it looks fabulous as well! Aisling shares simple solutions to this fashion crisis and forecasts what’s next for Nuw.  To hear more from Aisling, be sure to tune in with us today.

This week Conrad French unpacks Sinn Féin's amazing performance in the Irish election with Justin Cartwright, former Victorian Labor Member and NUW organiser who has lived in Northern Ireland for the past 13 years.

On this episode of Radio Stingray, we’re discussing wage theft, focusing on the nature of it and the various ways in which it influences a number of industries within the Australian workforce.   On today's show we are joined by Tim Nelthorpe, from the National Union of Workers, Victoria (NUW), and Activist with Hospo Voice, James Anthony Conciglio. While Tim is focused on the fair treatment of horticulture workers and James is a Chef and activist in the hospitality industry, both individuals share a common purpose in providing their industries’ workers with the resources and education to recognise the exploitation of their services. Key Themes and Discussion Points   What is Wage Theft? Wage theft is the denial of wages or benefits rightfully owed to the employee by the employer. Wage theft can be presented in many ways, including but not limited to; failure to pay over time and violating the minimum wage award of that industry. What is Hospo Voice? Representative for Hospo Voice James Anthony Conciglio believes that they provide one of the largest working industries in Australia a collaborative platform in which hospitality workers can use to voice concerns regarding their treatment within the work place. James simply defines wage theft as a dodgy boss who isn’t paying the correct award to their worker/s. What is the Award? ­Awards are designated legal minimums allowed to each industry as per the guidelines put forth by the Fair Work Commission. Unique to all industries within Australia, these awards are established by the government in order to regulate and monitor the specific pay rates, penalties and allowances. Tim Nelthorpe and the NUW Tim represents the horticulture industry, which encompasses 100,000 + workers picking and packing the fresh produce that’s bought, sold and distributed in major supermarkets, such as Coles and Woolworths. Represented as having some of the highest minimum wages in the world, which has been primarily achieved through enterprise bargaining, Unions have lost sight of the internal struggles relating to wage theft. For example, the horticulture award enables a peace rate clause that employers use to shave wages in a shifty yet legal manner. Roughly 70% of the horticulture industry in Australia is paid in cash, therefor unrequired to abide by the regulated awards of fair trade within that industry. The Informal Economy The informal economy refers to a large sector of the Australian economy that is paid in cash and thus lack representation from government and privatised unions established to enable fair awards and better practices. Representative for Hospo Voice, James Consiglio, believes that this informal economy is extremely prevalent within both the hospitality and horticulture industries. He also believes it’s most common for casual workers and migrants who require immediate financial support. George Calombaris Former Master Chef judge, George Calombaris was responsible for one of the largest displays of wage theft in the history of the Australian hospitality industry. The owner of various MAde Establishment companies, George underpaid more than 500 current and former employees over nearly two decades and was forced to back pay over $7.8 million in wages and superannuation this year. This episode of events that are central to the operation of numerous restaurants and venues across Victoria has only motivated James and Hospo Voice to increase awareness and continue to educate employees in fair work practices. The Operation of a Modern Union James of Hospo Voice believes that both the state government and the relevant industry workplace have a responsibility in empowering and supporting the modern union and its members. Ombudsmen are often utilised by unions in order to resolve issues regarding the miscommunication between fair trade and union members. These ombudsmen are, however typically referred to as “work place umpires”, often not on the side of the workers. Tim Nelthorpe of the NUW believes that the modern union has the responsibility to give their workers an understanding of their right to not only join a union but to stand up when being mistreated. Fortifying the ‘New Union Model’ Representative for the NUW, Tim Nelthorpe believes that workers he represents within the horticulture industry have success moving around the industry, maintaining union contacts and records. This is important as many work places require a nomadic operation and this fluidity suits the modern workplace effectively in regards to maintained support. Tim Nelthorpe states that the wages of an individual aren’t the core concern raised within the horticulture industry, rather it’s focused more on job security and the voice in which the individual is given in regards to internal and external business decisions. What is Hospo Voice Doing? A member run organization, Hospo Voice works in numbers and solidarity, and aims to achieve better long term quality of industry standards in regards to wage awards and their regulation Hospo Voice also hopes to make wage theft a punishable crime. Currently in the organisational stages, Hospo Voice is in contact with the Victoria State Government in hopes to enact the law by 2020.     Important Quotes |   “Where there’s a union that’s well organised and prepared to fight, we see good wage and condition outcomes for workers. Where there is no union, or no fight, we see employers seizing on every available opportunity to steal as much as they possibly can out of their workforce” – Shane Reside   “The MUA Sydney branch has been fighting the full spectrum of businesses, from dodgy back yard operators to hundred million dollar players like NRMA” – Shane Reside   “When we talk about wage theft, we’re talking about dodgy bosses who aren’t paying current award” – James Anthony Conciglio   “We estimate that something around 70% of the industry are being paid in cash, and the vast majority of those are earning well less than the minimum wage” – Tim Nelthorpe   “Realistically, the sheer scale of the problem (wage theft) in our industry, means that unless unions are recognised and given a role in the 90% of sectors in which we don’t have government mandated inductions with workers, then things won't improve” – Tim Nelthorpe   “Workers having a voice, and workers being educated on their rights to join a union is a big part of it (combating wage theft)” – Tim Nelthorpe    “10% of the Australian workforce are temporary migrant workers” – Shane Reside   Important Resources    To learn more about the National Union of Workers and the type of difference individuals such as Tim are making, visit https://www.nuw.org.au/.   If you would like to learn more about the Hospo Voice and their unionisation of the hospitality industry, visit https://www.hospovoice.org.au/.   If you’re unsure, or just curious as to what your industry award is, please visit https://www.fairwork.gov.au/awards-and-agreements/awards.   If you’re interested in reading further into the recent situation involving George Calombaris’ wage theft, please do so through this ABC News article https://www.abc.net.au/news/2019-07-18/george-calombaris-made-establishment-backpays-underpaid-workers/11320274.   Proud Sponsors of Radio Stingray    Unity Bank   https://www.unitybank.com.au/   McNally Jones Staff Lawyers   https://www.mcnally.com.au/

Union membership and strike activity remain at record lows across Australia. In recent times however, a few vitally important episodes of industrial action have bucked the historical trend. Last year in our own state for example, 1600 Alcoa workers went out on the grass for no fewer than 53 days. Meanwhile on the eastern seaboard, Chemist Warehouse workers, members of the National Union of Workers, have just emerged victorious from a two-week strike. Alex Whisson spoke to the General Branch Assistant Secretary of the NUW, Godfrey Moase.

Australian supermarkets have pushed the price of milk down to the point where it is now cheaper than bottled water. This has caused pressure through the supply chain. While we hear a lot about the farmers, we don't often hear about the workers in the milk and other dairy processing plants. What does this price pressure mean for the workers and theregional communities that rely on the industry? This week we speak to a dairy worker of 35 years and the lead organiser for the NUW's dairy division.We also speak with the ASU's Lisa Darmanin about the push by western Melbourne councils to privatise in-home aged care and what it means for both workers and their clients.

This week we meet another of the new Labor MPs elected at last years Victorian state election. Gary is the former Victorian State Secretary of the NUW.

 Migrant workers have always been an important part of our communities and our economy. Last week a report was released with the shocking statistics that roughly half of migrant workers are receiving $15/hr or less. More startling is the fact that over 90% of these workers are not making any attempts to recover these unpaid wages. We speak with Laurie Berg, one of the authors of the report. We also speak with the NUW's George Robertson about what that union has uncovered in its work with the largely migrant workforce on Australia's farms. 

Penalty cuts on July 1 and on Monday June 25 workers at Laverton Cold Storage in Tuginini a suburb of Melbourne started 24-hour rolling stoppages after negotiations for their first workplace agreement broke down.
