GMB Welcomes EHRC Decision To Investigate Glasgow City Council Pay And Grading System Introduced In 2007 Against Advice Of GMB

GMB told members at the time that we thought it was discriminatory and that is why GMB has been pursuing over 700 equal pay claims for our women members against this council

Alex McLuckie, GMB Senior Officer for Public Services in Scotland, today commented on the decision of the Equality and Human Rights Commission (EHRC) Scotland to investigate pay and grading at Glasgow city Council (See notes to Editors below). He said “GMB Scotland welcomes the EHRC’s decision in Scotland to investigate the pay and grading system that Glasgow City Council decided to introduce in 2007 against GMBs advice. We told our members at the time that we thought it was discriminatory and that is why GMB has been pursuing over 700 equal pay claims for our women members against this council. Glasgow should now do the sensible thing by paying what they owe their women employees.”
