Today on the Menopause Uprising Podcast we have Mandy La Combre. We talk about Brain Fog in the workplace and the much-needed support that is still required. Mandy is the Senior Industrial Relations Officer with the Financial Services Union. The Financial Services Union is the leading Trade Union representing staff in the Financial Services, Fintech and Tech sectors in Ireland. FSU has membership in over ninety companies and are organised in the Republic of Ireland, Northern Ireland, and Great Britain with headquarters in Dublin and Belfast.

Mandy works across both jurisdictions: Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland. Within FSU, Mandy represents workers on industrial matters in the banking sector, and also facilitates the development of policies that tackle inequalities in the workplace, seeking engagement from employers on the implementation of those policies. Gender-based collective bargaining is at the core of her equality agenda as FSU membership is 70% female, and women make up an increasing proportion of the workforce. Aiming to improve attitudes towards working environments for women in employment is at the heart of this policy work. Mandy has been a trade unionist and community activist all of her adult life and has been involved in several high-profile campaigns. Mandy has previously represented workers in the tech sector and the retail sector. Mandy currently sits on the Irish Congress of Trade Unions Women’s Committee.
