Laura Ashley workers on strike in Dublin

Twenty-two members of the Irish retail workers’ union Mandate have been protesting outside a Laura Ashley store in central Dublin.
They are on strike over the closure of the shop – and the minimal redundancy terms which the profitable British company wants to pay.
Laura Ashley is refusing to meet the union at the Labour Relations Commission – the conciliation service in the Republic of Ireland.

Last year Thomas Cook workers occupied their shop – also on Grafton Street – after closure was threatened.
COMMENT:
Solidarity leafleting outside shops in the UK would shake up the company.
