Those Behind Cried Foward
Having failed to properly look after the interests of its women members for many years the GMB is running a desperate campaign – aimed at poaching the clients of Action 4 Equality Scotland and Stefan Cross Solicitors.
Now we’re all in favour of freedom of choice – but this takes the biscuit for barefaced cheek.
Because the trade unions have lost all credibility on equal pay – they’re about as convincing as MPs’ discussing their own expenses.
So, while most people are smart enough to see through the latest GMB propaganda for what it is – here are some good reasons to give the unions short shrift:
• Action 4 Equality Scotland and Stefan Cross Solicitors told council workers the truth about equal pay from day one - we explained the big pay differences between male and female jobs
• The unions kept their women members in the dark for years
• Action 4 Equality Scotland and Stefan Cross Solicitors are currently fighting a major test case (GMF hearing) for clients in Glasgow – we’ve engaged leading counsel in Daphne Romney QC to represent the Stefan Cross clients
• The GMB is not even involved in this important hearing
• Action 4 Equality Scotland and Stefan Cross Solicitors are also fighting on behalf of those who signed Compromise Agreements with Glasgow City Council
• The unions abandoned these individuals long ago
• Action 4 Equality Scotland and Stefan Cross Solicitors are taking up claims on behalf of non-manual groups - such as former APT&C staff
• These groups have been ignored – in many areas - by both employers and unions
• Action 4 Equality Scotland and Stefan Cross Solicitors are pursuing claims on behalf of staff transferring to the council’s new arm's length company, Cordia.
• The unions have been as quiet as church mice about the transfer
• Action 4 Equality Scotland and Stefan Cross have taken up equal pay claims of many male workers - who were denied bonus payments over the years
• Yet again the unions failed to take the lead for this group of members – but Stefan Cross has just won a landmark test case for male workers at the Employment Appeal Tribunal
• Action 4 Equality Scotland and Stefan Cross are challenging Glasgow’s Workforce Pay and Benefits Review (WPBR) - we believe it discriminates against many female dominated jobs and we’ve been asked to give evidence to the Equality and Human Rights Commission.
• Yet again the unions are either slow off the mark – or not even at the races
If you’re an existing client of Action 4 Equality Scotland and Stefan Cross - and you receive such an invitation from the GMB – our advice is simple.
Tell them where to get off.
