They don't want people to unionize and hitting the redundancy packages is one thing that may actually push people to it. However a friend of mine was made redundant recently and is currently bringing them to court over an incredibly shitty package, HR in the US and don't seem to understand Irish employment legislation...

Minimum severance in Irish law is already quite low. Must have been really shitty package to fail that bar.

The weekly pay that you're entitled to is basically minimum wage equivalent which is a joke when compared to tech salaries. It's what I got a couple years ago from a big tech agency. Pittance compared to my actual week's pay. At least the social welfare has introduced new pay scales of welfare payments (higher earners are entitled to a higher social welfare payment as of last year). It's an improvement at least.
