GMB Union, representing thousands of equal pay claimants at Birmingham City Council, has today responded to news that workers will today [Wednesday 10 December] receive their individual settlement figure.
The news follows a four-year campaign to end historic pay discrimination at Birmingham City Council, led by women workers in GMB union.
Megan Fisher, GMB Organiser, said:
“After five years of fighting, this is an historic day as women across Birmingham find out exactly how the Council plans to settle their claims for equal pay.
“This will be a life changing moment for so many Brummies, with the impact expected to be felt across the City economy.
“This could not have happened without the hard work and determination of women workers who faced stolen wages for too long.
“Today is their victory and this a proud moment for those who ended this injustice”.
