We have already approached a number of Glasgow based employers to explore potential job opportunities for the workers. Unite is in the process of contacting its Valve Components membership in order to progress protective award claims. A protective award can be awarded where 20 or more employees are made redundant because an employer did not consult before any redundancy announcement. Employment tribunals can make various awards from 45 days to 90 days of full pay.
