Frequently asked questions (FAQ's) - 1
Here are the answers to some frequently asked questions - more will be added as time goes by - if you have a query, just send it in.
What happens to my claim if I leave my job?
Your claim continues with all the rest - the only difference is that it freezes at the point your employment ends because you can't keep adding service to your claim, once you are no longer employed.
Can I sue the trade unions?
Yes, if you are a union member. The unions sat on their backsides for years - cynically keeping their members in the dark - and they are still striking deals that discriminate against their lowest paid (mainly women) members.
Is it only women workers who can claim?
No, male workers have claims as well. For example, Janitors have the same claim as Home Carers (though the unions don't tell their members) because they are on the same old manual worker grade (Grade 5) as the Refuse Driver - yet the driver is paid thousands more than his two colleagues.
