"Hundreds of thousands of Tesco workers could be owed money as a result of an equal pay row being raised against the country's largest grocer.
The Tesco Action Group, which is fighting a multi-million-pound pay claim against the supermarket on behalf of workers, said it estimates that as many as 25,000 staff members could be owed a slice of £2.5billion in back pay.
This is equivalent to £10,000 each in a dispute that linked to the grocer allegedly paying female staff less than their male counterparts.

Regionally, around 32,000 workers in Greater London could be owed a share of £343million, the group claims, however the highest claims are expected to be in the south east, where 40,000 workers could be due a share of £405million in back pay.
