How long do you have to sue for wrongful dismissal.

I currently manage a team of professionals. As of Jan 1, 2015, the organization that I worked for was merged with another organization. The payscales for the other organization are substantially higher than mine. My colleagues in the new merged organization make approximately 35% more. My staff who are part of the union will be receiving a similar raise. My position however will not receive a raise nor will any other management position in my old organization receive a raise. My staff will be earning more than I will in 2016. I have stayed on under the expectation of a significant pay increase which I now realize will never be forthcoming. Are there any legal avenue to explore? I do the same material job as my colleagues and make 35% less.
