Tesco is closing its current store in Douglas Cork and moving to a bigger store on the same site. All current staff have been contacted and told that they would have to accept changes to their long standing terms and conditions of employment or face redundancy. Tesco feel that they will get away with this because the new store is not on the same location as the old store. Is this a sign of things to come?

Tesco workers to consider action - Cork Independent News

depends on the terms and conditions - any restrictive practices in the old store?

You've said the new store is and isn't on the same site in this post. Which is it ?

It's next to it on what was the car park from the previous store. It's quite a disgraceful stunt to pull to make workers redundant and then offer them jobs working for the same employer on the same site at different terms. A city-wide boycott of Tesco in Cork may be necessary.

The upper echelons of Tesco should be gaoled for this.

I completely agree, there are employers all over the place using the recession as an excuse to f### staff around in an unacceptable manner.

Apparently they are not treating their workers in the USA too good either.
Obama urged Tesco to enter into negotiations with the unions. That was before he became president. His requests were ignored.

Thursday June 26 2008

Barack Obama, the Democratic presidential candidate, has urged the Tesco chief executive Sir Terry Leahy to engage with the largest food workers' union in the US over the employment rights of workers at its Fresh & Easy convenience stores.

In a letter released yesterday, Mr Obama urged Sir Terry to "reconsider your policy of non-engagement in the US" and again called on Fresh & Easy executives to meet the United Food and Commercial Workers Union (UFCW) and other community groups "at the earliest opportunity". To date, Tesco has not responded to the request for dialogue from the union.

Gaoled by whom? The legitimate governing authority?

That obviously rules out Retard Sinn Fein and their pseudo government, then!

this a classic example of big business manipulating working conditions to the detriment of long fought for workers rights, this is ebbed on in part by mass immigration and unless we do something about it, it will effect every aspect of all our lives.

the Government in Ireland are hand in hand with big business in creating the conditions for this type of manipulation, we need tougher immigration Laws to prevent the exploitation of competition of Labour.
