They are blocking cars by walking across the entrance.. ffs can anybody tell the truth for fear or reprisals from these people.

PeterTheNinth

I'd get the biggest f**king Tesco bag I could find and walk straight past the c*nts.

Roger_007

The fact that there is a picket at all is in itself intimidating. Many people just won't pass a picket. They will just go elsewhere.

Atlantic Dawn

Hash Wednesday.

Why don't you offer to deliver to your regular customers?

Atlantic Dawn

Home delivery would be grand so to speak.

A Shaved Duck?

Sure damo he should go and try to reason with a bunch of union heads... thats the very definition of wasting your time.

Atlantic Dawn

I'd spit in the face of any scum asking me where I was going.

So who is actually working within the Tesco strike stores at the moment, is it those not in Mandate Union or those not in any union or what?

Managers drafted in from other stores and employees who broke the picket probably because they thought the pre96-ers got a really good deal

Fujitsu10

Strikers out of control...............

Dan Jaman

"I'm meeting Damo for an ounce of coke, now feck off."

2smiggy

so what if she wanted to shop in Tesco ??? It's her fúcking choice

Atlantic Dawn

"I'm going to ride your ma", that would get a nice response.

Yes, a nail bar could offer hand jobs at home.

"€14 per hour very low for a married man."

What does his marital status have to do with his wage?

And how much do people want for working in a supermarket realistically?

2smiggy

it's hard enough to understand that accent, never mind with a bad line on top of it

Dan Jaman

Meanwhile, there are OOD bargains to be had in the shopping centre if you get down there quick.

National comparison could be the Luas drivers!!

PeterTheNinth

Shutting businesses down, that is all that unions were ever good for.

Atlantic Dawn

Up the back so to speak.

excatly, that seems pretty decent wages i would have thought.

Dan Jaman

Going in the back way, in Finglas.

Atlantic Dawn

When it's over will there be a massive booze sale in Tesco to bring de customers back?

Roger_007

Move on Damo. Everyone is repeating themselves at this stage!

2smiggy

they seem to be trying to throw all the blame on Tesco today

We pay radio telephonists to do that.

Where is Duffy today, I presume he's on the picket line with them?

somesoldiers

Why doesn't he load up his fish on to a barrow and head off to the end of the road where the picketers aren't! A-Live-A Live O, so to speak

PauloMN

I just think people in Ireland are losing the run of themselves. No disrespect to anyone working in a low paid job, but they are low paid for a reason. I mean €14 per hour is the bones of €30k per annum on a 40 hour week, for a job that requires zero qualifications.

baldbear

Your wan was eating the phone. Couldn't understand her.

It's up to the public at the end of the day - if they just drive through regardless, the picket will lose it's power.

No one smells of roses here - both the workers and Tesco are abusing the small business owners. Plague on both their houses.

De health & safety crowd would shut him down.

2smiggy

stopping no one, other than that 14 year old girl that you conveniently choose to forget.

PeterTheNinth

RTE are far too soft on the unions. The unions are responsible for Irish citizens not being able to run their business. The guards should be called and the picketers should be moved on.

I beg to differ. Their are multinationals who pay €30k a year & look for qualifications.

Some Jobsworth from the HSE would have his balls on a spit, for not having a stainless steel barrow meeting the latest set of Cockle & Mussel Retailing Regulations, Street Traders, for the use of. (amended 1997).

i agree. and if someone had asked me where i was going and what i was buying i'd have given them some answer.

RTÉ lost €20 million last year, it's actually losing more than Bus Eireann is and feck all mention of it.

well people have started to sleep out in cars for new developments again !! What could go wrong . Same with bank loans for businesses , they hardly want to see the business accounts, can't give the money out quick enough

Roger_007

Add Ash??

Who would have ever thought that living above a pub would be loud?

Harry Angstrom

What does he expect if he's living over a pub?

A Shaved Duck?

Man rents apartment above pub and is surprised at noise at the weekends?

Atlantic Dawn

Has someone taped in to his line or has he a geiger counter running in the background?

Its not just an issue of the wages, its the new contracts that are been implemented that are detrimental to the workers and compromise the original contactual agreements that were drawn up by those amount or workers who were employed under the 1996 t&cs

Dan Jaman

Lives in flat above pub.
Noisy? What de feck did he expect?
If I'd rented a flat above a chipper, I'd not be surprised at the whiff of frying.

Dia1988

Duh!

What did he expect living over a pub in a busy city street in Dublin?

Stupid caller, move on Damo!
