Dunnes Stores staff balloted to strike over alleged bullying by management

STAFF at one of Cork’s biggest supermarkets have been balloted for strike action in a row over alleged bullying and harassment by management.

The result of the ballot of up to 100 workers at Dunnes Stores in Ballyvolane is expected to be known later today.

Pending the outcome, the store could face industrial action — probably in the form of a 24-hour work stoppage — which, if sanctioned, could cost Dunnes millions over the lucrative Christmas shopping period.
