Rerun of the Vita Cortex workers saga again

On Monday 26th March all the GAMES stores were shutdown. Once again it is workers who have got the raw deal and in a re-run of the Vita Cortex workers the GAME shop workers have been left without any redundancy or any pay due to them for outstanding holidays or notice periods.

In Dundrum Shopping Centre workers have locked themselves in and have posted the notice below on the window
game_store_workers_notice_and_sit_in_dundrum_sc.jpg

Text of notice reads:

GAME has told all employees in the republic of Ireland that they are being made redundant. We were informed that we would not be paid redundancy or any statutory or contractual notice periods or any outstanding annual leave. We the employees of GAME IRELAND believe the way we are being treated is wholly unfair and unjust. We are now sitting in our stores as a form of protest until GAME and PWC address our concerns.

Thank you all for the support.
