A discrimination complaint brought against the Manx Co-operative Society has been resolved through the Manx Industrial Relations Service.
Rachel Willis took the Manx Co-operative Society Limited to a tribunal claiming unfair dismissal/redundancy including constructive dismissal.
However, the company said the case has now been settled on “confidential terms for an undisclosed sum”.
Ms Willis said: “I am grateful for the support of Sight Matters and the team at Callin Wild, led by Advocate Mark O’Connor and supported by Breeshey Jansen and James Dudley. I hope the Co-op will remain focused on inclusion and diversity, uphold its values and take appropriate action where those standards fall short.”
Appropriate Action
A spokesperson said: “The Society will always take appropriate action where necessary to ensure its proactive approach to equality, diversity and inclusion continues to strengthen.”
The Co-operative says it has a strong track record of promoting equality and complying with equality law, and continues to ensure its policies, standards and workplace behaviours meet the expectations of colleagues, members and the wider island community.
The Manx Co-operative Society said it maintains a zero-tolerance approach to discrimination and remains committed to a diverse, inclusive and respectful workforce.
