Freedom Come All Ye - Glasgow
Here’s a copy of a recent Freedom of Information (FOI) request to Glasgow City Council – regarding its new pay and grading structures (WPBR).
The point of the enquiry is to establish how the new system has affected different groups of men and women within the council.
Do the traditional male groups fare better than the female groups – as we suspect?
The killer facts will be contained in the breakdown of men and women within the various payments bands – which are worth thousands of pounds a year, in many cases.
We will share the information with readers – when the council responds.

B: 6 to 10 points
C: 11 to 15 points
D: 16 to 20 points
