Trade Unions - Panic Abounds
The post from 1 July about the EAT's decision to strike out trade union equal pay cases - has caused a fair old degree of panic, as you might imagine!
The unions are desperately putting it about that we are not telling the truth - but all we are doing is reporting a recent decision of the Employment Appeal Tribunal.
So, we are happy to e-mail a copy of the EAT judgement to anyone that would like one - then people can read for themselves what a mess the unions have got themselves into - and at least then the members will be in possession of all the facts.
The unions now say that they are not just relying on the 2005 grievances - but the employers say all their grievances are defective.
The unions could clear matters up very quickly by publishing copies of the grievances they've registered - and sharing those details with the members who are potentially affected by the EAT decision.
People are welcome to ask Action 4 Equality Scotland and Stefan Cross for advice - but they are also perfectly free to find someone else if they so wish.
We only want the honest truth - the fact is the employers won the appeal and the unions lost - and so far they have told their members nothing about these decisions. If you are affected ask them what it means and get them to send you all the grievances relating to you claim - then you can judge for yourself.
