Dunnes workers motion
I have submitted a motion supporting the Dunnes Stores workers to Dublin City Council for consideration at the April 13th meeting.
Motion for City Council- April 13th 2015
This Council supports the workers in Dunnes Stores who are seeking
- The implementation of banded hour contracts which would give workers security of hours and earnings.
- A review of excessive use of temporary contracts of employment.
- Individual and collective representational rights for Dunnes workers.
This Council welcomes the commitment to legislate for an improved framework for workers who seek to better their terms and conditions where collective bargaining is not recognised by their employer.
Further this council welcomes Government commitment to legislate so that workers can have confidence that they have an effective system that protects and promotes their rights. This legislation ensures they can advance claims about remuneration, terms and conditions and have these determined based on comparisons with similar companies – and not be victimised for doing so.
