Labour Court backs union claim for seniority in Broderick locksmith redundancy

By Orla Quinn

Historic decision · Decision date:

Place: no local area assigned from the source.

The Labour Court recommended that J.X. Broderick Limited select the most junior locksmith for redundancy, accepting the Amalgamated Transport And General Workers' Union’s claim. The recommendation was signed on 12 August 1988. J.X. Broderick Limited planned to make one worker redundant after a fall in business and a reduction in its van fleet. The union objected to the selection of a more senior van driver and locksmith, arguing that all locksmiths were effectively interchangeable and selection should follow seniority.
