North Lanarkshire - New Claims
New enquiries from North Lanarkshire Council continue unabated - with people asking:
"Is it too late to register an equal pay claim?"
Well, generally speaking, the answer is - "No, it's not too late!"
Especially if you're in one of the former APT&C (i.e. former white collar/monthly paid) jobs - because the council has still to make any offers of settlement to these groups of staff.
So, school support workers of all kinds - and admin workers in council offices all have perfectly valid claims - because for years they were paid less than unskilled gardeners, gravediggers and refuse workers.
Anyone who falls into one of these job categories - can get things moving simply by contacting Mark Irvine at: markirvine@compuserve.com
Other groups of staff - i.e. former manual workers - have claims for the 3-year protection period following the introduction on Single Status - and if you are an existing client of Action 4 Equality Scotland, then this claim is already underway.
