Travel agency staff picket over failure to pay redundancy award

Seven former staff of BCD Travel yesterday protested outside their former workplace at the Kerry Group offices, in Tralee.

The workers, who plan to continue the protest outside the head offices of BCD Travel in Santry, Dublin, today, are taking the action because of BCD’s unwillingness to make redundancy payments awarded in a Labour Court ruling.

BCD, which manages corporate travel arrangements for the Kerry-based food multinational group, made the female staff redundant in early April.
