The general comment I will make, having heard directly from some of these workers, is that it is incredibly hurtful to be denied redundancy people are entitled to. Important companies doing important work like Rehab – and it does wonderful work – have to respect the decisions of the Labour Court. It is entirely unacceptable that a Labour Court decision has been sitting there since November and to date the Rehab Group management has refused to implement the recommendation. I invite comment back from our participants.
