'The Name of The Game is Power...' Rev Jesse Jackson - @onthebackpage presents a night with Henry St. @DebenhamsStaff 406 days in a loading bay blocking trucks one of the longest strikes in Irish history... led by mothers & grandmothers. @pjgallagher@IrvineWelsh@paulmurphy_TD
“I’ve been spat at, threatened and beaten up for this company over the last 16 years. Then on Tuesday on my day off the company calls me to tell me my job is gone. It’s upsetting and disrespectful and we all deserve so much better.” https://t.co/o9DI22vNdo
So today at long last we find the WRC is ready to hear the #DebenhamsStrikers cases. Also big news today people started receiving reimbursements from our fund for courses, equipment etc they had already paid for themselves. Thanks to @paulmurphy_TD with @solidarityie@pb4p help
The union movement has harsh lessons to learn from the Debenhams struggle. Frankly the determination of the strikers was totally unmatched at official level. The openly stated criticisms of the union leadership by the workers should not be met by behind the scenes denigration
