Last year workers in Dunnes successfully campaigned for the temporary measures to be put in place as recognition for their hard work and the risks to their health and safety during the global pandemic.

Dunnes workers will deliver the petition to Head Office at South Great Goerge's Street in Dublin at 1pm.

Mandate National Coordinator, Jonathan Hogan says they want the payment retained as they haven't had a pay rise.
