At 10am management from Thomas Cook arrived at shops in Dublin to enforce closure. TSSA members refused and are now occupying the shops.
The context to this dispute is a company that seeks to consolidate and increase profits through the closure of more than 100 shops. The closures in Dublin fly in the face of these shops making more than £400 million profit during 2008.
TSSA members need support:
1. Hand write a message and run it through the fax: fax number: 00 35316 771258 and 00 35318 783965
