An employee of STMicro­electronics was awarded €20,000 in compensation after being unfairly dismissed.

An Industrial Tribunal found that the company could not have fired him on the basis that his superiors no longer trusted him.

Sergio Ciantar was sacked on May 15, 2009, citing disciplinary issues and insubordination. Mr Ciantar denied the allegations levelled against him by the company.

The tribunal was chaired by Franco Masini. Lawyer Robert Abela appeared for Mr Ciantar.
