South Lanarkshire
This week’s ‘drop in’ meetings in South Lanarkshire proved to be a tremendous success – with well over 700 people attending the three Action 4 Equality Scotland events in Rutherglen, Hamilton and East Kilbride.
Lots of existing clients came along for an update/progress report – with many potential new claimants present as well – so the level of interest in equal pay remains extremely high.
The essential question that everyone wants an answer to is: “How does South Lanarkshire Council explain and justify the big pay differences between many male and female jobs?”
Best of all, council employees gave us first hand accounts about the pay arrangements in South Lanarkshire – which we believe to be discriminatory - because these arrangements seem to favour many of the traditional male (former bonus earning) jobs.
Any information that council employees can provide will be of great help in the ongoing work at the Employment Tribunals – there will be lots of activity around the South Lanarkshire cases in the weeks ahead.
So, watch this space for further news
