They took the MoD to an industrial tribunal for discrimination because full-time colleagues were awarded redundancy payments and pensions.

According to the BBC, a £6.7m out-of-court settlement was reached, with the claimants receiving between £1,500 and £50,000, depending on past earnings and length of service.
