Deputy Pa Daly.

SINN Féin TD for Kerry Pa Daly has called for the public to support the Debenhams workers and their demands ahead of a march at 2pm this coming Saturday in Tralee.

“Debenhams workers deserve our support now more than ever, KPMG has threatened to injunct Debenhams workers for engaging in a picket to prevent the removal of stock from stores prior to an agreement for improved redundancy terms,” said the Deputy.

“The Debenhams workers demand is for four weeks pay per year’s service agreed between the company and Mandate during the last round of redundancies in 2016.”

“The liquidator has been quoted by RTÉ as saying that it could not pay enhancements to the redundancy without direction from the government. The Government must intervene and if the Duffy Cahill report had been implemented already, the workers would have obtained their four weeks pay per year’s service.”

“The strong stand of the Debenhams workers exposes injustices in the liquidation and industrial relations laws which operate to the detriment of workers. With further redundancies in retail and other sectors on the way, I appeal to rank and file trade unionists, activists and the wider community to stand with the Debenhams workers.”
