Video: La Senza workers occupy Irish store

On 10 January, women workers at the Liffey Valley shopping centre occupied their branch of La Senza after they were sacked without receiving their wages or christmas-period overtime.

The workers have received huge amounts of support from the public and workers from other La Senza stores in the region.

This action is an example to millions of low-paid, mainly women workers in this service-sector. Lacking union protection, and with the law on companies closing down ensuring that workers come last in the queue for what they’re owed, actions like this show that resistance is possible, necessary and inspirational.
