Tomorrow, Tuesday 18^th July 2023, IWU members in the Iceland Ballyfermot store will be going out on strike. This decision was taken due to the ever worsening conditions developing in the Iceland stores and the continued refusal of the company, Metron Stores Ltd., to deal with the IWU, the representative union of Iceland workers.

With Iceland stores closing all over the country, there has been no communication from the company to its workers regarding which stores are next to close. Instead, the company opts only to inform the workers of individual stores of their immediate lay-off on the day of closure. This is creating a situation of unacceptable uncertainty for Iceland workers, leaving them unsure if they will have a job in a week
