Dispute over zero-hour contracts and working conditions. Some workers dismissed for taking part in the one-day strike.
Dunnes Stores workers say ‘absolutely everything is on the table’ in their dispute with management - including an all-out strike (see our March Newsletter).

Trade union Mandate, which represents about two-thirds of the workforce, said that it is considering legal action over its claims that some workers were dismissed for taking part in the one-day strike.
