Tallaght Domino's Pizza strike for better pay

According to a report at IOL.IE:
Tallaght Domino's Pizza drivers strike over pay
09/12/2006 - 14:16:10 iol.ie

Fifty Domino's Pizza drivers have begun protest action at the franchise's Tallaght outlet in a row over pay. The drivers say they are paid €4 per hour, with an additional payment to them of €1.50 per delivery. They are looking for their pay to be increased to €5 per hour and the per-delivery payment to €2, which they say would be in line with other outlets in the franchise.

"When we try to speak to the company about this issue, they won't discuss it," said driver Uzair Ahmad, who is spokesman for the drivers.

The drivers started their protest action last night when they downed tools and refused to do any deliveries for the night. They are planning to picket the Tallaght outlet again today at 5pm and say they will again refuse to do any deliveries. [Read rest of report]
