The Teachers’ Union of Ireland (TUI) extends its support to the Debenhams workers who are being unfairly denied the implementation of a collectively negotiated redundancy package.
We echo the call of Mandate trade union for immediate, definitive action from the Taoiseach and the Government to end the protracted dispute which has seen workers on picket lines for over 200 days.
We also fully support the demand of Mandate and the ICTU that legislation be implemented to give effect to the Duffy/Cahill report which could prevent other workers suffering a similar scenario in the future.
In addition, TUI commends the workers on the inspirational courage and resilience that they have displayed for over six months.
