GLASGOW - STOP PRESS - NEW CONTRACT
Glasgow City Council has issued another letter to those employees who have not signed up to the new contract - mainly people who are pursuing an equal pay claim with Action 4 Equality Scotland and Stefan Cross.
Our advice up till now has been NOT to sign the new contract - because this could potentially compromise your ongoing equal pay claim.
But having looked carefully at the details of the latest letter, the council is now saying that the new terms will be imposed on all employees from 1 April onwards, which puts a different complexion on things.
In effect, the council is now forcing the new terms on everyone - whether they like it or not - and this gets round the dilemma of people signing up on a voluntary basis.
SO - FOR THE AVOIDANCE OF ANY DOUBT - YOU CAN NOW SIGN THE NEW CONTRACT WITHOUT COMPROMISING YOUR ONGOING CLAIM!
