Thomas Cook staff in Dundee are to receive legal support from Unite.

Unite have organised the drop-in session following the collapse of the travel company last week, which left thousands of workers suddenly unemployed.

Staff members will be able to seek legal advice on how to claim unpaid wages, secure redundancy pay and make a protected award claim.

Workers are advised that they do not have to be members of the union to receive advice.

The UK Government have been criticised by the union for its treatment of staff, by failing to provide a solution.

The session will take place tomorrow at Unite’s headquarters on Blackness Road from 11am to 2pm.
