GMB - 'We're Full Up'
Readers in Glasgow have been in touch to say that their trade union - the GMB - is telling them that they're full up.
The union is no longer open for business - when it comes to equal pay claims.
Apparently, a decree of sorts has been issued and the GMB is telling members that they will not take on any more cases - if claims were not already registered by the end of March 2010.
Quite why this should be so is a mystery - why leave people high and dry - why draw artificial lines in the sand when people face enough problems in the fight for equal pay?
Maybe it's just too much bother - who knows.
Anyway, the good news is that what the GMB is saying is a load of old baloney - so if you think you have a legitimate claim - don't be put off by what the union says.
