Dunnes Stores used CCTV to spy on staff suspected of eating at deli

Retail giant Dunnes Stores secretly spied on staff who were suspected of eating food at a store’s deli counter without paying.

The disclosure emerged during the course of an unfair dismissal action taken by a female deli worker who admitted to eating the food while at work.

The Employment Appeals Tribunal criticised Dunnes for its investigation of the woman that involved deploying CCTV cameras.
