The Mandate trade union has welcomed a 5% pay increase for Dunnes Stores workers.
The union described it as positive step and a significant achievement for the staff.
However, Mandate said that aspects of a pay and benefits claim remain unaddressed by management.
These include a lack of progress on paid maternity and paternity leave, benefits which Mandate said have been introduced by a growing number of competitors in the retail sector.
The union has formally written to Dunnes Stores, welcoming the pay increase but urging the company to work with it to address the remaining aspects of the claim.
"This 5% increase is a win for Dunnes workers and a testament to what can be achieved when workers stand together," said Jim Fuery, Interim Assistant General Secretary of Mandate.
"It builds on the progress we have made in recent years, which has delivered a cumulative 29% pay increase since 2020."
"However, there is still work to do to ensure that workers receive the full recognition and benefits they deserve," Mr Fuery said.
Last month, Tesco Ireland announced a 3% pay increase for most of its hourly paid workers as part of a €14m investment in pay and benefits.
The company also announced an increase in paid maternity, adoptive and paternity leave.
Mandate and SIPTU have accused Tesco of refusing to collectively bargain and of imposing a pay award on workers.
Tesco has denied the claims.
