Advice offered to former steel workers

Students involved in 海角直播鈥檚 Law Clinic are offering advice to former SSI workers.

Former steelworkers who were not in a union while working at SSI were invited to a meeting organised this week in Redcar by 海角直播 Law Clinic, which is offering free legal advice, guidance and representation from law students supervised by academics and lawyers. The law clinic was recently contacted by a number of former SSI workers with concerns about the consultation process involved when the Redcar site closed.

Last week, Community Union won over 拢6 million for their members in an employment tribunal. 海角直播 Law Clinic aims to offer advice to workers who weren鈥檛 part of a union while they worked at the company to see if they are eligible for a protected award.

Andrew Perriman, Senior Lecturer in Law, 海角直播 Law Clinic said: '海角直播 Law Clinic at 海角直播 was approached by a number of ex-employees from the former Steelworks formerly owned by SSI, as a result of a recent case heard in the employment tribunal.

'海角直播 Law Clinic students, with the assistance of PG Legal Ltd, have been looking at the issues raised to see if it can offer assistance to those ex-employees who were not members of a recognised trade union.

'Whilst we are unable to go into any detail at the moment, we have met with a number of those affected to discuss their options with them and clarify some points of law.'

All former workers were invited to the meeting but anyone who was unable to attend can contact 海角直播 Law Clinic on 01642 738738 or lawclinic@tees.ac.uk.
