Were you wrongly advised to settle your equal pay claim?

Female Local Government workers could be entitled to thousands of pounds in compensation following a ruling in The Court of Appeal last week against a Trade Union that undervalued an equal pay claim.

If the following applies, you could be entitled to compensation:

• You settled an equal pay claim on the advice of your Union (this settlement was probably offered to you just before Christmas 2007)
• Your Union didn’t tell you what your claim was really worth
• Your Union made you feel that you would be betraying your colleagues by making a claim

The Court of Appeal’s decision should entitle local government workers to the difference between the settlement you received and the full value of your equal pay claim for up to six years, plus a further award of compensation for sex discrimination.

If the above criteria apply to you, your friends or your family, and you have been employed in local government for a continuous period of at least four years, feel free to call us for a free discussion.

We can act for you on a no win, no fee basis against your Union to recover compensation for mis-selling a settlement to you, and for failing to defend your right to equal pay.
