Glasgow's Fight for Equal Pay



I've taken a break from blogging over the summer, but now that the holidays are coming to and end it's important to remind everyone that the fight for equal pay is not yet over.

There are still outstanding issues to resolve on behalf of different groups and of course some Claimants have still to receive their settlement offers. 

So, the campaign continues and the focus will begin to shift towards the 'unfit for purpose' WPBR pay scheme which the Council has agreed to replace with a completely new, non-discriminatory job evaluation scheme (JES) - known as the Gauge Scheme.

Now Glasgow City Council (along with all Scottish councils) was urged to use the Gauge Scheme more than 20 years ago - way back in 1999 would you believe!

But for reasons known only to the Council's most senior officials Glasgow decided to opt for its cockamamy WPBR scheme which was torn to shreds in a landmark judgment from Scotland's highest civil court, the Court of Session, in August 2017 and December 2017.

More to follow in the days and weeks ahead - so watch this space.
