A $438,000 settlement in a class action accusing a unit of engineering company CIMIC of underpaying casual aluminium construction and manufacturing workers has won court approval.
UGL Limited has agreed to pay $438,000 to settle a class action accusing the engineering company of underpaying casual aluminium construction and manufacturing workers over a three year-period.
In the wake of a landmark judgment that held class actions are not managed investment schemes, engineering giant UGL has given up its case against two unions that sought to block them from funding an underpayments class action.
Engineering company UGL Limited has denied wrongdoing in a class action on behalf of casual aluminium construction and manufacturing workers who were allegedly underpaid for over three years, saying they were, in fact, overpaid.
