Retail equal pay
Leigh Day is the law firm behind the UK’s largest retail equal pay claims, the firm represents more than 100,000 store workers at Tesco, Sainsbury’s, Asda, Morrisons, Co-op and the fashion and home retailer Next, who believe they are being paid less than warehouse workers.
The legal team is making significant progress in these claims, including achieving a landmark equal pay win for Next store workers.
Leigh Day's employment solicitors believe these retailers have wrongly assessed the value of store based roles compared to warehouse roles and that this has resulted in unlawful pay inequality.
You may be eligible to join the claim if you have worked in store for ASDA in the last six years, or Tesco, Sainsbury’s, Morrisons, Co op or Next in the last six months, in England, Scotland or Wales.
