Dunnes Stores workers may escalate industrial action

Workers at Dunnes Stores may escalate their campaign of industrial action in its row with management of the supermarket chain.

Yesterday, Mandate — the trade union which represents two-thirds of workers in Dunnes Stores — said it would be holding a special disputes committee meeting today to decide on the next course of action.

It follows a day of industrial action held on April 2 which also prompted fallout after Mandate claimed that some of its workers had since been “targeted” by management because of the strike action.
