This is an OLD story.
I mentioned recently that Autoglass was getting rid of 400 jobs.
As a follow-up, a reader has provided the following information (copied exactly as submitted):
The 300 permanent staff that Autoglass are making redundant are having their contracts breached. Autoglass are paying in lieu of notice which by law as to be in your contract, there is nothing in our contracts outlining redundancy. So they have to serve our notice which makes us entitled to benefits and so on, but we aren’t getting them. Pay in lieu of notice terminates our employment today the 15th July 2011. All 300 staff are entitled to take Autoglass to an employment tribunal or even to a civil court for breach of contract.
I stress that this is a comment submitted by a reader.
