Mandate members in Douglas, Cork took industrial action on Thursday, 30 April 2009 against the companies attempts to force workers into selling their terms and conditions or alternatively, compulsory redundany. Following a large scale campaign by Mandate in which 10,648 petition signatures were received in less than four days in support of the Tesco workers in Douglas, the company agreed to attend third party discussions with no pre-conditions attached. The dispute is still in the process of being resolved, however, Tesco workers thoughout the country should be grateful to the Douglas workers for their strength and resilience in fighting for their terms and conditions.
