The company I work for is a UK HQ'd arm of a US multinational corporation which has a contract with another US multi national corp. The latter company is the account which I work on and this company has filed for chapter 11 protections in the US. Currently it is proposed to transfer the undertakings to the Chapter 11 protected company which is currently under examinership in Ireland.
Is there scope within labour protection laws for employees to object to such a transfer as it places them in a company that has little or no opportunities and may indeed go out of business soon? Should the current employer not show a duty and care to staff that it is proposing to transfer to the troubled company? The current employer is not in any financial trouble and would provide a better opportunity for redundancy payments while the other company is for now, far more undependable.
