Union set to launch legal action over pay

A trade union has notified Fife Council leaders that it will start fresh legal proceedings against the local authority over the nonpayment of equal pay settlements for over sixty workers.

GMB Scotland and their legal affiliates said they had been pressing officials for months over the reasons for the failure to pay-out claims as part of the second wave of equal pay in Fife Council, many of which were awarded over two years ago.

They said that no confirmation had been forthcoming from council officials.
