Clackmannanshire Council
Readers in Clackmannanshire report a sudden flurry of activity over equal pay.
Out of the blue, letters have been issued - to say that that the council intends to settle eligible and outstanding claims - at the same time as implementing the 1999 Single Status Agreement.
Well it's only taken them 11 years - but better late than never, as they say.
The letter goes on to say that the council will be holding 'briefing sessions' over the summer - and will invite eligible employees to attend.
Quite what all this means is a mystery, for example:
Because the council may try to use them to 'persuade' people into giving up their claims on the cheap - as others have done in the past.
If the council has a serious proposal to make - then they should do so via Action 4 Equality Scotland and/or Fox Cross Solicitors - which they know fine well.

Quite what all this means is a mystery, for example:
- What does eligible mean?
- Who will be at these meetings?
- Why doesn't the council just write to people setting out the details of their settlement offers?
- Why doesn' the council explain how these offers are to be calculated?
