Feedback from Fife
Several readers from Fife have been in touch to say that the unions are still up to their old tricks - trying to confuse people about their equal pay claims.
As explained previously - see post dated 15 April 2010 - the latest settlement offer covers the period up to the implementation of Single Status, i.e. up to 31 March 2007.
All Action 4 Equality Scotland clients have an ongoing claim from that date onwards - because the council continued to protect the higher pay of traditional male jobs - for another 3 years.
Claims on behalf of Action 4 Equality Scotland clients are already underway - so individual clients do not need to take any action at this stage - everything is in hand.
The unions are suggesting that people need to submit fresh claims or they will lose out - but this is complete baloney as far as Action 4 Equality Scotland clients are concerned.
So, take what the unions have to say on this issue - as with many others - with a big pinch of salt.
