Greencore’s package for Mallow workers under fire

CORK county councillors voted unanimously yesterday to call on the Government to force Greencore to pay its former 85 workers in Mallow the proper redundancy package recommended by the Labour Court.

The call was led by Cllr Sean Sherlock (Lab), who said that Greencore was trying to pay redundancy packages based not on today’s wages, but those paid out to workers in 2004.

“Greencore is refusing to acknowledge the Labour Court by wanting to base packages on ‘04 and not ‘06 wages. The company should do the honourable thing.
