Labour Court recommends further talks on Wexford worker’s redundancy

The Labour Court recommended further discussions about alternatives to a worker’s redundancy at Wexford Local Development Limited, and that he be restored to the payroll in the interim. The recommendation was signed on 17 June 2010. The worker, represented by John Horgan, said he had not been consulted and asked for his redundancy notice to be withdrawn. Wexford Local Development Limited said government funding cuts required staff reductions and that it sought to protect frontline staff. The Court recommended checking whether another person wished to volunteer for redundancy and concluding the discussions within four weeks.
