Merry Christmas
A very Merry Christmas and compliments of the season to all our regular readers.
2008 has proved to be a frustrating year in some ways - the outstanding equal pay claims are all working their way through the Employment Tribunal process behind the scenes - but they are taking longer than anyone originally hoped or expected.
The lack of progress is down to the foot dragging antics of the employers - although their reluctance to lock horns on the real issues speaks volumes about the underlying weakness of the employers' arguments - and their willingness to put these to the test.
However, there are a number of important and encouraging developments - that we will be able to share with people in the New Year.
In the meantime, happy holidays - and all the best for 2009!
