Labour Court tells five Quinnsworth audit clerks to choose among redundancy and transfer options

The Labour Court recommended that five remaining audit clerks at Powers Supermarkets Limited (Quinnsworth) choose among the company's options after it reorganised its stocktaking work. The recommendation was signed on 20 January 1988. The Irish National Union of Vintners, Grocers and Allied Trades Assistants opposed the proposed redundancies and sought to have notices rescinded while the company negotiated a restructuring. The options included transfer to a branch, redundancy terms, or applying for new stocktaker posts. The Court accepted that the redundancies arose from reorganisation and did not consider the options unfair.
