Clerys workers received international support yesterday when members of the international trade union movement signed the Clerys workers' petition outside the department store in O’Connell Street, Dublin.
 
Trade unionists from Belgium, France, the UK, Italy, Portugal, Sweden, Norway, the Netherlands and Finland added their signatures to the over 15,000 already collected calling on the new owners of Clerys to immediately meet the workers.
 
A SIPTU written and online petition calling on the new owners of Clerys to meet with the former staff of the department store has received over 15,000 signatures since it was launched six days ago.
 
SIPTU Organiser, Teresa Hannick said, "The overwhelming public support for the workers has reinforced their commitment to campaign on this issue until they get the respect that is due to them from the new owners of Clerys.

The support they have received from fellow workers across Europe shows the level of concern this action has provoked beyond Ireland."
