Secret Bonus Earnings
Falkirk Council has finally been forced to release details of the bonus earnings for its traditionally male (manual worker) jobs.
And the results are truly amazing - no wonder the employers and the unions tried so hard to keep this information under wraps for so long!! Here are a few examples:
Driver
Grade - Manual Worker 3
Basic Pay - £11,694
Bonus Pay - £7,228 (not paid to women Grade 3 jobs - or their equivalent)
Percentage Bonus - 62%
Refuse Collector
Grade - Manual Worker 2
Basic Pay - £11,307
Bonus Pay - £6,649 (not paid to women Grade 2 jobs - or their equivalent)
Percentage Bonus - 62%
Gardener 2
Grade - Manual Worker 2
Basic Pay - £11,307
Bonus Pay - £6,649 (not paid to women Grade 2 jobs - or their equivalent)
Percentage Bonus - 62%
Refuse Driver
Grade - Manual Worker 4
Basic Pay - £12,603
Bonus Pay - £7,094 (not paid to women Grade 4 jobs - or their equivalent)
Percentage Bonus - 62%
Gravedigger
Grade - Manual Worker 3
Basic Pay - £11,694
Bonus Pay - £7,228 (not paid to women Grade 3 jobs - or their equivalent)
Percentage Bonus - 62%
Now these are some of the highest bonus earnings of any council in Scotland - perhaps in the UK as well!!
And all the while the details of these much higher earnings for traditional male jobs have been kept hidden from a largely female workforce - by both the employers and the trade unions - who should be thoroughly ashamed of their behaviour.
Despite all their brave talk about equal opportunities - they have deliberately kept their women employees (and women union members) in the dark - costing them thousands of pounds a year.
That's why so many people have - and continue to have - a significant equal pay claim.
How many women workers in Falkirk earn less than a Refuse Driver - at £19,697 per year or £10+ per hour? Thousands - including lots of Admin & Clerical Workers, Classroom Assistants etc.
Action 4 Equality and Stefan Cross set out to expose this hypocrisy - and in Falkirk Council it's laid bare for all to see.
