Dublin South West representative Seán Crowe TDhas today called on UCD Students Bar to honour an agreement reached with workers on the 15th of Dublin August with respect to redundancy and unpaid wages.

He said it was unacceptable that workers were left without wages since the end of August. The Mandate Trade Union has served strike notice on the bar and is proposing to put a picket on the Campus on Monday morning.

Speaking today Deputy Seán Crowe said:

“The resolution of this issue lies with the committee of the UCD Students Bar and its representatives. After two Labour Relation Committee meetings an agreement was reached with the committee and its workers on the 15th August. This agreement has not been upheld.

“This is extremely disappointing and unacceptable. The workers involved have been without wages since the end of August. They have not received their statutory right to redundancy payments or wages and holiday pay owed to them.

“I am calling on the bar committee representatives to deliver on agreements made. I am also calling on the President of UCD, Dr Hugh Brady, to intervene in this important matter.”
