New Claims - Across Scotland
We've had lots of calls in the past few days regarding the two recent posts about New Claims in Edinburgh (see posts dated 10 November 2007).
"Does the same apply in other councils across Scotland?", people want to know.
Well, the answer is a very definite YES!
All councils in Scotland have deliberately excluded large groups of employees - and despite these people having perfectly valid claims - they have been left out in the cold (see New Claims 1).
All councils in Scotland that made cash offers to employees (South Lanarkshire is the exception) continue to pay the women workers much less than the men - and will do so for years to come - so everyone who accepted the first offer can re-start their claim (see New Claims 2).
If you need any further advice, ring Action 4 Equality on 0131 667 7956 or contact Mark Irvine at: markirvine@compuserve.com
