Ellie 163 "One unit has elected to lay off anyone who has not been working there for a year as this gets them out of paying any redundancy package".
This is actually fair enough - you have to had worked for somebody for two years before you are entitled to redundancy pay. Equally there is normally a first in last out criteria for selection.
Kevin is right Union membership is vital in such situations. I would recommend anyone to join a Union in times like these.
