Place: no local area assigned from the source.

The Labour Court recommended increasing the ex-gratia payment offered to six workers at Independent Newspapers and Media Group Limited to 2.5 weeks’ pay per year of service. The recommendation, dated 9 June 2020, followed a dispute with the Services Industrial Professional Technical Union over redundancy terms. The six workers had not accepted the employer’s redundancy terms and had refused offers of continuing work in different roles nearby. The Court recommended that the amended terms be accepted in full and final settlement, with all other elements unchanged.
