Fastway couriers and employees seek government support after parent company receivership

Fastway couriers and employees are seeking government support after the parent company entered receivership, leaving them unable to claim social welfare. Protesting workers are demanding a statutory tool to access social welfare payments during a 30-day consultation period, which prevents them from seeking other employment without forfeiting owed wages and redundancy. The receivership of Nuvion Group impacts hundreds of staff and subcontractors, with politicians raising the issue and calling for ministerial engagement to resolve the situation.
