Coughlan move ‘a clear backing for workers’

GREENCORE workers are owed a better redundancy package than the company has given them and the Agriculture Minister gave a clear backing to their claim when she announced the allocation of the restructuring package for the Irish sugar industry.

That is according to one of the unions representing the workers, the TEEU.

Along with SIPTU, it argues that Greencore’s redundancy package does not meet the full recommendations of the Labour Court — a claim the company disputes.
