South Lanarkshire - STOP PRESS
South Lanarkshire has today issued letters to employees pursuing equal pay claims - our clients describe them as "intimidating" and "threatening", which is understandable as they are full of nonsense and misinformation.
Stefan Cross will be writing to all clients in the next few days - as quickly as possible - because unlike the council - we have absolutely nothing to hide.
In the meantime, there is no need to get anxious or upset - South Lanarkshire scare stories about extra costs and so forth - are completely ridiculous and untrue.
So, the message is:
1 Don't panic - nothing to worry about
2 Sit tight - advice will follow as quickly as possible
3 Ask yourself - if there is no huge pay gap (between male and female jobs), why doesn't the council just release the pay information - if it has nothing to hide?
Further news to follow - take heart from the council clutching at such straws!
