Union speaks with forked tongue

The union blowhards who tried to disrupt the recent Action 4 Equality meeting in Bromley - are now trying to do the council's dirty work - by telling their members that there are no male comparators on which to base an equal pay claim.

Yet, in the same breath, they are also saying that the union has been in discussions with the council - about a possible 'buy out' of claims - although a final agreement has still to be reached.

Now this is completely bonkers - why would the council enter into negotiations if people did not have a valid equal pay claim?

So, the unions are talking nonsense - they have kept their members in the dark for years - and now they're trying to help the employer - by spreading misinformation and discouraging people from pursuing an equal pay claim.

The unions behaviour is likely to backfire with their members - because the employees we are speaking to are very angry that secret talks appear to be taking place with the council - which the ordinary members know nothing about.

You can bet that if the council does make a 'buy out' offer - they will refuse to explain how it is calculated - and so will the unions.

Because if they did explain how they come up with these figures - it would give the game away - people would see that they are being cheated - and that they would be much better off pursuing an equal pay claim.
