Glasgow - Ongoing Claims
A regular reader from Glasgow has been in touch to say that a trade union has offered to take up an equal pay claim on her behalf.
The same union that took the side of the council - when poor settlement offers were made to some staff - back in 2005.
But the laugh is that she already has an ongoing claim - which Action 4 Equality and Fox Cross Solicitors are already pursuing on her behalf.
So, here's the e-mail I sent in response to reader's enquiry earlier today:
Dear Colleague
The best response would be to just tell the union to get lost!

Dear Colleague
Glasgow Enquiry
If you have already received a settlement via Action 4 Equality Scotland and Stefan Cross/Fox Cross Solicitors - then you have an ongoing claim which Action 4 Equality is already dealing with on your behalf.
All the union is doing is trying to dupe you into transferring your claim to them - and that would be a very foolish thing to do - because the unions have let down so many of their members in the past - and will do so again given half a chance.The best response would be to just tell the union to get lost!
