Glasgow & Equal Pay
We've had lots of enquiries today from employees of Glasgow City Council - with people wanting to know if they can re-start their equal pay claims.
The answer is - YES!
Even if you accepted a previous settlement from the council, you have a further significant claim - because the council has continued to protect the higher earnings of traditional male jobs.
And while the big pay gap between male and female jobs remains - you continue to have a claim.
You may also be able to challenge the terms of the original settlement that many council employees accepted back in November/December 2005 - see post dated 6 November 2008.
In addition, there are lots of Glasgow employees who have not been made any offers of settlement - even though the groups have perfectly valid claims.
Groups of admin and clerical workers (former APT&C staff) who do highly skilled and reponsible jobs - yet are paid much less than unskilled, traditional male jobs such as refuse workers.
So, if you have a query or need some advice, come along to one of our 'drop in' Glasgow meetings on Wednesday 10 or Thursday 11 December.
We will be at The Millennium Hotel on George Square between 2pm and 6pm each day.
