Dirty Tricks
Some readers from Midlothian have received unsolicited letters from the council - about their equal pay claims - see previous post dated 3 September 2009.
The council is up to its old tricks - trying to get people to give up their claims on the cheap - and without explaining the basis of their 'new' offer.
The council is also making false statements about contact with Stefan Cross - here's an extract of a letter that's on its way to all clients in Midlothian - to set the record straight.
"If you have received such a letter, you will no doubt have noted that the Council are claiming to have made contact with us six months ago regarding your offer. This is simply not true. We have not at any stage during the last six months been contacted by the Council regarding settlement of any Equal Pay claims against them in which we are instructed."
Just shows you the desperate lengths the council will go to - to pull the wool over people's eyes.
We are happy to discuss terms of settlement with Midlothian - but at the moment the council is just playing games.
