Glasgow's Fight for Equal Pay
In case anyone is looking at Glasgow's fight for equal pay through the wrong end of a telescope - here's a photo of Stefan Cross QC with a timely reminder that 'We Won', albeit after a long, arduous and costly battle which lasted for more than 12 years!
Now I know the Claimants are frustrated, understandably, at the delay in settlement offers being sent out, but that's a minor setback compared to where we were 2 years ago (in 2017) when the Court of Session, Scotland's highest civil court, still had to rule in our favour over Glasgow's 'not fit for purpose' WPBR pay scheme.
We've come a very long way since then and the process of replacing the WPBR with a non-discriminatory job evaluation scheme (JES) is now underway.
So let's hope there will be good news about settlement letters soon because after that it's full steam ahead to PayFest 2019 - Glasgow's big equal pay party - at The Barrowlands on Saturday 6th July.
