Please keep us all updated  |
If a case has been taken up by a union then that has been done on behalf of its members of that union and not any non members, hence any payout would only be for the members as they continued to pay their subscription, plus if you stop paying your subscription you would not be entitled to anything either.
It is down to personal choice and if those non members wanted to pursue a claim they would have to go through their own lawyers.
This is one of the reasons for paying out your union subscriptions and continuing to do so after the site closes as all unions have a legal arm.
