Overview
Many current and former Co-op store employees believe they’ve been paid unfairly compared to their colleagues in other roles. Lawyers are helping them take action and stand up for their rights.
Under the Equality Act 2010, men and women must receive equal pay for equal work. But the Co-op is accused of paying its predominately male distribution centre employees more than its predominately female store workers. While the difference in pay is likely due to gender, both men and women working in Co-op’ shop floors could be due compensation.
If you are currently working at Co-op, or have worked at a Co-op store at any time in the last six years, you may qualify to make an equal pay claim.
We are monitoring the situation closely. Register your interest and we’ll keep you updated if one of our regulated UK partner law firms is able to take this claim forward.
