🚨 Important Legal Update for Employers and Unions 🚨 The recent Supreme Court ruling in H.A. O'Neil Limited v Unite the Union has significant implications for industrial action in Ireland. The decision reinforces the legal protections for unions under the Industrial Relations Act 1990, making it more difficult for employers to secure injunctions against strikes and picketing when proper procedures are followed. For employers, this means adjusting strategies to address industrial disputes, focusing on negotiation and alternative resolution methods rather than relying on legal interventions. For unions, the ruling strengthens the right to collective action, highlighting the importance of following correct legal procedures.
