enforced/voluntary redundancy

My colleague's husband works in a factory where redundancies are required...

Two blokes,  same length of service and terms of employment. Ten redundancies needed

Bill applies for voluntary redundancy and is turned down.
Ben doesn't want to go but is made redundant anyway.

Bill is just average Joe turns up every day does the job.
Ben is dead wood, takes the piss,  always on the sick etc,

Could Ben claim to have been unfairly dismissed, on the basis that Bill was happy to leave his job so Ben could have been saved?
