A transfer of undertaking was conditional upon a reduction in the workforce, so that a dismissal which followed the transfer was for an ‘economic, technical, or organisational’ reason entailing a change in the workforce’. The transfer was the occasion of the job loss, but not the cause or reason for that deduction. The dismissal was connected with the provision of the service.
