People's Movement (Irish: Gluaiseacht an Phobail) is an Irish pressure group which campaigns on a number of issues such as protecting Irish neutrality and against greater European Union integration. The movement has also campaigned against the war on Iraq and the use of Shannon Airport by the US military. The People's Movement is considered left-wing and opposes the institutions of the European Union, arguing that they undermine workers' rights and lead to a "race to the bottom" between the workers of underdeveloped members of the EU.[1]
