Equal Pay Compensation Offers

The City of Edinburgh Council has made secondary compensation offers to those female manual workers who previously were offered settlements in spring 2006, since those offers ran out in October 2006.

Most female members whose claims have been lodged by UNISON will receive an offer through our solicitors Thompsons in due course. The council have not yet forwarded these offers to them for distribution.

The offer has not been extended to men in those groups this time around and UNISON is taking legal advice on this issue and we will update members once we receive it.

As far as workers who are not covered by the above offers (such as APT&C staff) and have made claims, the Council has not been prepared to discuss them with us to date. We are taking legal advice on the validity of claims and will update members as and when we receive it.
