Landmark pensions ruling for glassware workers

Former workers at Ireland’s Waterford Crystal have won a landmark ruling on their pensions. The European Court of Justice found that the Irish state did not adequately protect the pension entitlements of the workers when Waterford Crystal became insolvent in 2009.

The ruling has enormous significance for the workers and for others involved in what is known as ‘double insolvency’. The case was brought by 10 members of the Unite trade union on behalf of all former employees.
