The tables were turned on TAG's former employees on Tuesday as they were offered a chance to take legal action against their former employer - on a no-win, no-fee basis.
According to reports some of the employees described Tuesday night's meeting at a Manchester hotel as "like having salt rubbed into an open wound".
Resolve Employments Disputes had offered to represent the employees in a class action, but demanded 33% of any compensation awards.
Instead Paul Wainwright, managing partner at GLP solicitors, has been brought in to give the staff legal advice on the issue.
He said that if the company were unable to meet its obligations to staff, the DTI would have to be called in to settle the dispute.
