Labour Court finds Laing - Paul failed to consult before making 24 bricklayers redundant

The Labour Court found that Laing - Paul Site At Tallaght Hospital failed to consult meaningfully with workers or their representatives before making 24 bricklayers redundant. It also found the company had not shared its selection criteria, but said the redundancies themselves were not unreasonable. The recommendation was signed on 8 March 1996. The Building And Allied Trades Union disputed the need for redundancies and the selection process. The company said the block work was nearly complete and that it had assessed workers in detail.
