In reality, I believe that all those entitled to a payout as a result of the unions' action in highlighting the non compliance of redundancy laws, will receive compensation, regardless of membership or not of said union.

There may well be cases where a former employee who is a trade union member will not receive any money because they worked in a store with less than 20 employees. Conversely, a former employee who was not a trade union member, who worked in a store with more than 20 employees, WILL receive a payout of the unions' action!!!
That will most likely be the case in some instances ,but then the unions only have themselves to blame for losing the closed shop
