There are 950 CE schemes around the country, 22,000 trainees and 1,250 supervisors who have been treated in the most appalling way. In 2005, there was an enhanced redundancy deal offered and accepted through a Labour Court agreement, which would have given the retiring supervisors statutory redundancy plus 3.35 weeks. What have we done with it? Nothing. Where are we with them? Nowhere. It is somewhat ironic to hear the Government side talk about the irony of what is going on here with the supervisors.
