Johnny Comes Lately (2)
On Sunday (see post dated 8 February 2009) we asked if Unison's belated conversion to pursuing equal pay claims was:
a) Too Little Too Late
b) Better Late Than Never
c) Just Another Recruitment Drive
The answer has come even quicker than we expected because today a number of claimants have been in touch to say that union reps are approaching local workplaces - in an effort to sign people up as new recruits - even though they already have an equal pay claim underway.
Our advice now is that Unison is just trying to frighten people - and is using their recent letter as part of a cynical recruitment campaign.
So, there's no need to worry and no need to do anything - if local union reps come to your workplace with these scare stories.
Best thing to do is:
1 Ask them where they've been for the past 10 years?
2 Give them short shrift
3 Chase them off the premises - with a flea in their ear
