Those of you that believe LIFO should be used as the sole method of selection for compulsory redundancy need to understand that the law has changed. The change makes all previous contracts/agreements that make LIFO the sole method of selection obsolete.
Companies and Unions can agree to whatever they like. However, it should be within the law. When the law changes then contracts of employment should also change.
Companies and BALPA should use a matrix that could include LIFO in it.
The Employment Equality (Age) Regulations 2006 and the Equality Act 2010 refers to the change in the procedures.
