In 2011, the Labour Court recommended enhanced severance terms for three workers at Coastal Container Line Ltd (Marine Terminals Ltd, Peel Ports Ltd) after restructuring and redundancy. The recommendation was signed on 17 October. The Services Industrial Professional Technical Union sought five weeks’ pay per year of service, inclusive of statutory entitlements. The company said it forecast a loss of about £1.5 million and could not improve on the severance payments already received. The company did not attend the hearing but sent a written submission, which the Court took into account. The Court recommended an enhanced severance payment of five weeks’ pay per year of service, inclusive of statutory entitlements, in full and final settlement of the dispute.
