What the hell were these idiots thinking? They were offered 5 weeks pay for each year of service. There are plenty of people out there that would kill for the deal. It sounds like Thomas Cook dealt with the closure in a callous and unfair way but at least they offered a decent package. I heard some guy on the radio saying all they were looking for was a package that they could survive on for a year or two until they could get another travel agency job!! Hope they don't get a very ****ed off High Court Judge who asks them to explain why he had to order a major garda operation to get them in front of him. I see the trade union ran a mile from the dispute after getting legal advice!!
