UNISON has supported it’s Dumfries & Galloway Council members with equal pay cases & claims since 1999 and a report on our work was issued to the 2015 AGM (Copies are available on request).
Some eligible members did not participate in our legal cases and their claims are now time-barred. The Council has expressly said it cannot pay compensation to time-barred employees and there is a full explanation of their position on the Council employee website.
Given that legal cases are usually lengthy drawn out processes and the obvious concerns if a case doesn’t progress as hoped for, it would be cruel if any Council employees who are time-barred are then hit with huge legal fees should they stop being clients of these companies in the future.
UNISON will always support it’s members whenever it is possible to do so.
My UNISON is where members can store and manage personal details.
