NLC Update (25/04/15)


I am re-publishing five posts from the blog site from December 2007 which readers from North Lanarkshire will find of particular interest because they deal with the way in which the Council introduced a new job evaluation scheme (JES) and new pay arrangements covering all former Manual Worker and APT&C staff.

Both measures were key and outstanding requirements of the 1999 Single Status (Equal Pay) Agreement which the Scottish council employers and the trade unions had signed up to a full eight years previously, yet nothing happened until A4ES appeared on the scene and explained the huge and hidden pay differences between traditional male and female jobs.

As regular readers know, North Lanarkshire's JES and the new pay arrangements which flowed from the JES were subsequently found to be discriminatory by the Employment Tribunals.

But Action 4 Equality Scotland has been saying so on the blog site for the past eight years and it gives me enormous pleasure all these years later to point out that we've been proved right all along.
