General Scheme of the Plan of Action on Collective Redundancies following Insolvency Bill 2023: Discussion

Mr. Peter O'Brien Hogan:

From an employment rights perspective, there is a risk in going down the route of creating a special class of redundant worker when they are insolvent in order that they would have legal rights that go beyond those of workers made redundant generally. It is about ensuring equality and uniform treatment of workers when they are made redundant.
