Ten Years Too Late

Unison has written to all of its members in North Lanarkshire Council - about 'action' that the union plans to take in connection with equal pay.

The letter states:

"You will be sent a form so that we can gather relevant information from you and, if appropriate, start process of taking legal action."

The point is that Unison has known about the equal pay problem for years - for a decade and more.

Yet the unions kept their women members in the dark - about the huge pay gap between male and female jobs - but are now looking to re-write history.

Because the trade unions negotiated the higher (bonus-related) pay for the male groups - the employers certainly never did this on their own.

So, when it comes to equal pay - take what the unions have to say - with an extra large pinch of salt.
