This could pave the way for further claims for Tesco, Sainsbury’s and Morrisons.

---

Claims may go ahead on behalf of 80,000 Morrisons employees, who may be eligible for back pay in excess of £1 Billion. Leigh Day are currently representing 30,000 shop oor staff in claims against Tesco, Sainsbury’s and Asda.

This claim is for discrepancy in pay for, predominantly female, shop oor workers and, predominantly male, workers in distribution centres, for work of equal value.

Asda concluded the 3-day hearing at the court of Appeal in October, and the nal judgement will give guidance to the main supermarkets on whether the work and roles of shop oor employees and distributions employees are equally comparable in value, and therefore eligible for equal pay.
