In 1995, the Labour Court recommended improved redundancy terms for seven drivers at Wiggins Teape Limited: three weeks' basic pay per year of service, statutory entitlements and £1,750. The recommendation was signed on 13 December 1995. The Services Industrial Professional Technical Union had sought £2,000 per worker per service year after rejecting the company's offer of three weeks' pay per year, statutory entitlements and £500. Wiggins Teape said competition and its financial position made the higher claim unaffordable.
