Dunnes Stores Workers to go on strike on Thursday

It has been confirmed by Mandate Trade Union today that Dunnes Stores workers will go strike this Thursday across 109 stores in the Republic of Ireland.

Dunnes Stores employs almost 10,000 workers in the Republic of Ireland with Mandate representing two thirds of the workforce.

The four key issues in dispute include: secure hours and earnings, job security, fair pay  and the right to trade union representation.

Gerry Light, Mandate Assistant General Secretary said, “Dunnes have left their workers with no other option other than industrial action following their refusal to meet to discuss all of the issues in dispute. The Company have also refused to accept a Labour Court Recommendation which clearly states they have an obligation to sit down with their workers’ chosen representatives.”

He added, “The strike is completely avoidable and all it would take to resolve the dispute is for Dunnes Stores to pick up the phone and commit to meaningfully engage with their workers representatives.”
