Former Debenhams staff are urging the public to boycott the department store's website when buying Christmas presents this year.
The workers maintain the company could easily fund their demand for four weeks of redundancy payments.
The workers have been locked in a dispute with the store's liquidator KPMG over redundancy terms.
Michelle Gavin, a former shop steward at the Waterford store said
"We're asking people to think when they're going to shop online not to shop with Debenhams. It is debenhams.ie but that money is going to the UK, it's not going to any pot in Ireland, so we're asking people to be mindful of that."
The Waterford ex-workers are holding a small socially distant protest at 11.30am on Tuesday to remind people they are still there 222 days later.
Michelle says there has been a small bit of progress since the protests began last April:
"The stock hasn't left, so I suppose that's still our leverage and that's still there, so that's a victory in one sense. But one thing that has changed is that Micheál Martin has agreed to meet with Mandate, we haven't been given a time or a date yet...but it's a small bit of progress in our eyes."
Jane Crowe, a former shop steward at the Henry Street branch in Dublin, said they need public support in their campaign.
The shop steward said any delivery workers who handle the packages of merchandise will be effectively crossing their picket line.
“We're calling on people, it's UPS that does the deliveries, sometimes they arrive out to people's houses in taxis actually.
“So we would be calling on anybody delivering those packages to please not deliver them.
“They know it's from Debenhams, the packaging is branded from Debenhams, so we would be asking them not to put their hands on it.
“That in itself would be crossing our picket,” said Ms Crowe.
The Debenhams workers will rally at the Dáil on Tuesday afternoon following their 222nd night on the picket lines blocking the removal of stock from the closed stores across the country.
