Labour Court recommends enhanced redundancy terms for five Trinity College Students Union workers

In 2006, the Labour Court recommended enhanced redundancy terms for five clerical workers at Trinity College Students Union after a dispute with the Services Industrial Professional Technical Union. The employer offered two weeks’ pay per year of service plus statutory entitlements; the union sought six weeks plus statutory entitlements. The employer cited trading difficulties and said further costs could put other jobs at risk. The Court recommended four and a half weeks’ pay per year of service, inclusive of statutory redundancy payments, in full and final settlement. Its recommendation was signed on 1 September 2006.
