Communications Worker’s Union calls on company to engage in redundancy negotiations
Accenture job cuts, save €6,000 by shopping around for better mortgage rate, and manufacturing slows again
Meanwhile the Communications Workers’ Union has called on Accenture to engage with staff and their representatives in redundancy negotiations. The union which represents workers in the postal, telecommunications, tech and call centre sectors did not disclose the number of its members employed at Accenture and affected by the cuts, but said that the bulk who were affected work in content moderation.
In March staff laid off who had worked more than two years at Accenture were reportedly offered four weeks of base salary per year served, capped at 20 years, plus statutory redundancy pay. It was reported that staff with less than two years’ tenure were offered a lump sum of €4,000, but were told they would have to forfeit the contributions that the company had made to their pension fund.
The company is one of the country’s biggest private sector employers. The latest job losses mean that the Irish-headquartered multinational will have shed about a fifth of its workforce this year.
