Former Debenhams Staff Accept €3 Million Training Fund Settlement

Former Debenhams staff have accepted a €3 million training fund settlement offer.

319 workers voted in favour of the measure, with 102 against the move.

It comes after over 406 days of struggle for a just redundancy settlement.

Debenhams announced the end of its Irish operations last April with the loss of around 1,000 jobs.

A statement from the former Debenhams staff says the vast majority of former Debenhams workers do not see the agreement as coming anywhere close to the honouring of the four weeks’ pay per year’s service redundancy that was signed off on by the employer.

They also believe it is not "an adequate reward for the struggle" they have gone through over the past year.
