Is this legal? Is there no trade union negotiation either?

Not only it is legal, it is also a standard practice. Everyone is doing it.

There is an argument where Stripe should have gone above and beyond. But maybe Google/apple/ Microsoft who are 100x richer (maybe) than Stripe should have spearheaded that first.

From the article:

> The pension clawbacks, which are legally permitted under Irish pension rules, only applied to staff who had been working with the company for less than two years.

Most industries in Ireland are pretty unionised, but tech is one of the exceptions here.
