Sacked for wearing a union pin

Report this post to the editors

Joanne Delaney is a 22-year-old shop steward, a member of the Mandate trade union, and two months ago Dunnes fired her for wearing her union pin on her uniform. And despite pressure from her union, they are refusing to take her back.

In a sense, this is not surprising coming from a company that was the subject of a three-year long campaign in the 1980s against Apartheid. Dunnes is a company which is notorious for its anti-union policies.

In fact, Dunnes so dislikes unions that it refused to meet with Joanne when she was accompanied by a union official.

It might be worth changing the text of the standard email that this links to and send Dunnes a message that you will not be shopping there until they re-instate Joanne.
