 In July 2018, Unite the Union launched legal action on behalf of 27 members made redundant at GCHQ in Cheltenham claiming proper consultation had not taken place.Unite later (January 2019) reported that worker redundancy payment negotiations had been made "unduly complicated" because of Carillion's complex corporate structure, and said the total amount of redundancy pay awarded to ex-Carillion workers was expected to rise to £65m.A week after the liquidation, PwC agreed with Network Rail that Carillion Construction employees to its projects would have their wages guaranteed through to at least mid April 2018, while Carillion suppliers on Network Rail projects would also be paid.
