Protestors have returned to Letterkenny Tesco today
WORKERS with a Co Donegal company who face losing their jobs are picketing Tesco in Letterkenny again today.
The employees of Rock Shopfitting Services in Muff are angry at losing a contract to a French company to carry out re-fits and merchandising at Irish branches of the British supermarket chain.
Company MD Martin McCafferty said the workers were in Letterkenny again today to protest at the loss of 100 jobs – 50 of them in Co Donegal.
“Local companies are losing out to foreign companies in the tender process,” he said.
“We are so grateful for all the support we have received in Donegal and in Letterkenny.”
Tesco has denied discriminating against the Muff company.
It says the tender was awarded fairly and says Rock can tender for future work.
