MARTELL JOB CUTS HALTED BY COURT
Published: 23 July, 2008
Redundancies at Cognac producer Martell & Co, due to begin this month, have been stopped by a Bordeaux Court of Appeal. The Pernod Ricard-owned company had planned to make 146 staff members redundant to boost competitiveness at the struggling Cognac producer. Three members of staff went on hunger strike for 16 days in March, with the action only ending when a previous court case found in favour of Martell (see Harpers, 28 March). The appeal court decided that the consultation process fell short of the legal requirements and that plans given to the distiller's works council were not in a definitive form. Martell has now been prevented from carrying out the planned lay-offs and has been handed a E1,000 fine.
