Mandate say Dunnes Stores Management have taken some positive steps

The comments follow a pay increase for workers.

Mandate says Dunnes Stores Management have taken some positive steps in recent weeks as part of the ongoing dispute with workers.

Yesterday saw the announcement of a 3 per cent pay increase for staff while the union say four week rosters are now being issued to employees.
However, Mandate say security of hours for workers is still required for their members.

The developments come ahead of the national demonstration planned by Dunnes Stores workers for Saturday June 6th in Dublin.

Representatives are expected to meet in Cork next week to decide a number of local actions and events in advance of the march.

AUDIO: Speaking to RedFM News, Mandate's Lorraine O'Brien says the developments have showed members what the campaign can achieve.
