Edinburgh - Revised Offers
Revised offers from Edinburgh City Council have started going out to Action 4 Equality clients this weekend - at the moment the council is restricting the improved offers to female manual workers.
We aim to turn these offers around within a matter of days - so that our clients get their money as quickly as possible.
The sooner people return their paperwork, the sooner we can complete the process with the council - which will allow us to release individual cheques.
Remember - everyone who case is already underway with Action 4 Equality has an ongoing claim from 1 April 2008 - because the council is going to protect the higher pay of the male workers for years to come.
And for as long as the pay gap remains - between these groups of male and female workers - employees in Edinburgh (and elsewhere) have valid and very valuable equal pay claims.
Remember, also, that lots of people have perfectly good equal pay claims - but have yet to do something about it - see the two posts dated 10 November 2007.
But if you don't register a claim, the council will keep the back pay that properly belongs to thousands of low paid workers.
