>Pickets of Tesco are being organised across Ireland and Britain tomorrow in

>sacked by Tesco's Dublin distribution centre for fighting casualisation.

>Sawicki and Bukala were sacked from their jobs as casual workers for Tesco
>for refusing to carry out backbreaking work for poverty pay. Tesco demand
>that casual workers meet ever higher productivity levels that present a
>danger to the health of the workers and sack workers who refuse.

>Following a wildcat strike at the Dublin distribution centre on July 29th,
>the Tesco Temps Defence Committee was formed to demand
>* the reinstatement of the two sacked workers
>* contracts for agency staff after three months
>* the reduction of productivity targets to a manageable level.

>Tesco is the UK's biggest retail chain. In 2005 Tesco made profits of

>Smith combined.
