Former Wilko employees win £2m payout following chain’s collapse

Around 10,000 former Wilko employees will share a pay out of £2m after winning a legal case.
A judgement at the Employment Tribunal ruled that the discount chain had failed to properly consult with workers before it went into administration in August 2023.
It means that around 9,000 former retail employees, who worked with 20 or more people, will receive four days pay, while roughly 1,100 who worked in a distribution centre or support centre role will receive 13 days pay, GMB Union said. R
