Labour Court recommends concession of severance claim at ADM Ringaskiddy

The Labour Court recommended concession of the severance claim brought by SERVICES INDUSTRIAL PROFESSIONAL TECHNICAL UNION, TECHNICAL ENGINEERING AND ELECTRICAL UNION and AMICUS after ADM RINGASKIDDY closed its plant. The recommendation was dated 3 July 2006. The unions sought €3,750 per year of service, while the company’s offer was €3,000 per completed year, including statutory redundancy entitlements. The company said it had already paid redundancy entitlements calculated on its offer and did not attend the hearing, though it provided a written statement. The recommendation records the Court’s decision to concede the unions’ claim; it does not report payment of any additional amount.
