Labour Court recommends enhanced redundancy payments for two former sales representatives

In 1989, the Labour Court recommended conceding the Sales Marketing And Administrative Union Of Ireland's claim for enhanced redundancy payments for two former sales representatives of Reg Armstrong Motor Cycle (Sales) Limited and F.W. Armstrong Limited. The recommendation was signed on 14 November 1989. The companies had agreed enhanced payments for weekly paid staff, while the two representatives received statutory redundancy payments and pension-related benefits. The companies argued those benefits justified the difference and that they could not afford additional payments. The Court cited the particular circumstances and usual redundancy practice in recommending concession of the union's claim.
