Labour Court Database __________________________________________________________________________________ File Number: CD90579 Case Number: LCR13057 Section / Act: S67 Parties: KERRY FARM SUPPLIES LIMITED - and - SERVICES INDUSTRIAL PROFESSIONAL TECHNICAL UNION |
Dispute concerning rationalisation of the Company's transport system.
Recommendation:
3. The Court has considered the submissions made by both parties.
It has come to the conclusion that the options available to the
individual workers have not been properly investigated and have
become entangled with a claim for redundancy terms greater than
those generally paid in the industry. The Court in this case does
not consider the circumstances are such as to warrant greater
redundancy entitlement and does not therefore recommend concession
of the Union's claim in this respect. It does recommend that the
Company and the Union together with the individual workers begin
detailed discussions on the alternatives of contract work or other
employment offered to the drivers and that these discussions
should commence without further delay.
