Are you claiming that over 90% of Woolworths employees were USDAW members?

The shopworkers union Usdaw has won compensation worth up to massive £67.8 million for over 24,000 former employees of Woolworths made redundant when the firm collapsed at the end of 2008.

The iconic high street retailer went into administration on 27 November 2008 and by early January 2009 the administrators had closed all of Woolworths stores, offices and distribution centres and made nearly 30,000 people redundant in the process.

Unfortunately, as occurred in a similar case involving former employees of Ethel Austin, the compensation award excludes all former employees who happened to work in smaller stores where fewer than 20 redundancies were made. This means around 3,000 employees who worked in around 180 of the 814 stores covered by today’s judgement may never receive compensation.
