ICT Eurotel workers fight for full redundancy payments

Fri, Jul 10, 2009

The workers at ICT Eurotel in Belmullet yesterday were meeting with their employers as they tried to thrash out a fair redundancy deal for themselves.

The major sticking point for the workers on the redundancy issue is that ICT Eurotel is only offering the lowest possible redundancy package allowable within the law. The company is basing it on the reduced working hours which the employees have been working for more recently, rather than the full time hours which they were working previously.
