   At ease one and all... just raising awareness here of a new book called "Tales From The Debenhams Picket Line" which details the plight of workers, 95% women, who stood on the picket lines for 406 days during the pandemic across Ireland. 
The workers 1,000 of them received a generic email, not signed, to tell them their jobs were gone and they would receive no redundancy. Most had worked in the stores for more than 30 years, some in Roches Stores across the country.
We received support from the football & music world and there is an extract from the book in the 42 today... https://www.the42.ie/duncan-edwards-book-extract-5500752-Nov2021/

Might be of interest... Cheers
