The Labour Court recommended a redundancy package of five weeks' pay per year of service, inclusive of statutory entitlements, for employees of H&K Dublin Limited after it announced the closure of its Dublin plant. The Services Industrial Professional Technical Union represented 46 employees. The recommendation was dated 14 July 2003. The union had sought eight weeks' pay per year, excluding statutory entitlements, along with other benefits. H&K Dublin Limited cited a downturn in business after changes in McDonald's strategy and its debt. The Court also recommended continued VHI payments for the rest of the year and 2003 service awards as if staff had remained employed through the year.
