Sit-in continues at butcher shop
A number of workers with more than 20 years of service at O’Donovan’s butchers, Prince’s Street, claimed yesterday that management did not want to pay them a fair package and instead they were to be left with statutory redundancy, which is just two weeks pay per year of service.
The shop was supposed to close, after 105 years trading, next Tuesday. But when employees got their wages on Thursday, they were told there was no work available for them.
