Historic decision · Decision date:

Place: no local area assigned from the source.

In a recommendation dated 4 October 1999, the Labour Court saw no basis to increase the redundancy terms sought by employees of John A Wood Limited after it planned to close its Ballincollig garage. The Services Industrial Professional Technical Union sought a package based on average earnings, citing workers’ reliance on overtime and concerns about redeployment. The Court considered the agreed proposal of 6.2 weeks’ pay per year of service generous. It urged further talks on redeployment terms and the union’s concerns.
