Employees are fighting back after being made redundant
Mortons Rolls employees are fighting back as they prepare to sue their former employee and others are being urged to join a massive lawsuit against the Drumchapel bakers.
Paul Kissen, head of the protective award unit at Thompsons, has encouraged more employees to come forward. He is confident that they can claim an award from the Drumchapel firm, which is in liquidation, for being dismissed unlawfully. The case centres around winning protective awards: unlawful redundancy pay-outs that employees are entitled to on top of their unpaid wages, unworked notice, unused holidays and statutory redundancy pay. In Mortons case, the law states that the firm should have carried out 45 days of consultation before cutting jobs, and Thompsons estimates that the award could be in excess of £4,000 a head.
