Mass Redundancies – what are your rights as an employee

Twitter and Meta have announced recently that they are making large scale redundancies which, they say, are to do with cost savings.

Teaching staff are also at risk because again schools are looking to save costs and it is looking more likely than not that redundancies will be made to support staff.

However, before they can make large scale redundancies (more than 20 people) they should contact all affected employees by way of a consultation. Failure to do so may render the termination potentially unfair and could give rise to legal claims.
