A brief statement has been issued by Fox and Partners Solicitors on the discussions which have been taking place with South Lanarkshire Council in recent months over its outstanding equal pay claims - the content covers all clients of Action 4 Equality Scotland.
"As you know, we have now had several weeks of negotiations with the council’s representatives over your claims. Those negotiations have been constructive and progress is being made. We therefore feel that at this stage it would be in the best interests of our clients to seek a postponement of the EAT scheduled for 18-20 February so that negotiations can continue. We will continue to act in your best interests and will update you as soon as we can by the end of February."
Further news will follow at the end of February, so for the moment there is no need to do anything - other than to sit tight.
