Submarine Bar staff go on strike over new owner’s redundancy order

BAR staff at a Dublin pub started a three-day picket outside the premises yesterday after they were told that their numbers were to be cut and they would all have to re-apply for their jobs.

The full-time workers at the Submarine Bar in Crumlin claim they were told by the new owner last Friday that they would all have to take redundancy and then re-apply for their jobs.

They said they were told application forms had to be in by last Monday.
