Staff at an Iceland supermarket in Dublin have ended a sit-in protest after a deal was reached over wages and holiday pay.
Three workers occupied the Coolock store after finding it locked when they arrived for work on Wednesday."The examiner has liaised with our union rep and they have agreed to a set of terms that we are happy with for now," said Jeanette Joyce, one of the protesting workers.She told Virgin Media News that staff had been assured wages would be paid on Friday, as would holiday pay for workers due to go on leave in the coming weeks.
She said staff entered the store when a maintenance crew arrived on Wednesday morning to remove food that was recalled. "Local gardaí did engage with the parties present. No other garda involvement was necessary at this time," she said.In a statement, Labour TD for Dublin Bay North, Aodhán Ó Ríordáin, said a "ridiculous situation" had occurred at Iceland stores across Dublin."They turned up for work this morning only to be told they have no jobs and this is an absolutely crazy scenario. This is absolutely no way to treat workers.
