North Lanarkshire - Union Claimants

A number of readers from North Lanarkshire have been in touch - to say that further settlement offers are being made to union claimants.

The offers apparently cover the 3 year protection period for the male workers' bonus earnings - following the introduction of the council's job evaluation scheme (JES).

What people want to know is:

What is the real value of my claim for this period?

Does the offer include a payment for overtime working?

Is the offer reasonable - taking all the circumstances into account?

What is the union's advice - should I accept or reject the council's offer?

Now none of this is rocket science - people can and should be given straight answers to the questions by their trade unions.

If the union is reluctant to explain and answer these points - something is plainly wrong - and it may be that people are having the wool pulled over their eyes.

If you've been made such an offer - and want to check that you're not being led up the garden path - send a copy of your offer letter to Mark Irvine at: markirvine@compuserve.com

We'll be happy to advise - and won't give you lots of union double-talk or gobbledegook.
