Workers affected by the sudden closure of bakery chain Twelve Cupcakes will begin receiving a portion of their unpaid salaries from the end of this month, their union said.
The Food, Drinks and Allied Workers Union (FDAWU) announced the development after months of sustained engagement with the liquidator since the chain's abrupt shutdown and provisional liquidation last October.
The union stated that salary payouts are being made under the liquidation process and are subject to adjudication, including the verification of claims and the availability of funds. The liquidator has informed the majority of affected members of the amount payable to them.
