Workers at an Aberdeen paper mill who suddenly lost their jobs last week are set to take legal action.
Stoneywood paper mill fell into administration last week with the loss of more than 300 jobs - but the Unite union said workers were not properly consulted over the decision.
It organised a mass meeting with Thomsons Solicitors on Tuesday afternoon to also cover areas such as redundancy pay outs and unpaid wages.
Paul Kissen, from Thompsons Solicitors told BBC Scotland: "They were dismissed without any consultation whatsoever, and there's a duty on employers to carry out what's called a collective consultation where they are proposing to dismiss 20 or more people from a single workplace.
"In this case the redundancies came completely out the blue, and that means the employees are all entitled to claim a protective award, of up to 90 days' pay per employee."
Staff said workers were told on Thursday afternoon to attend a meeting an hour later and were then informed administrators had been appointed.
The joint administrators did not comment on any legal action that may be taken.
