Equal Pay In Local Government

EDM number 1775 in 2006-07, proposed by David Taylor on 26/06/2007.

That this House acknowledges that equal pay between women and men is a legal right under UK and EU law; is concerned that, despite the best efforts of trade unions, women in local government continue to be unlawfully underpaid; notes that the lack of financial help offered to local authorities to assist with the funding of single status has led to a crisis in local government over equal pay; welcomes the single status funding lobby organised by UNISON, GMB and TGWU on 10th July; and calls on the Government to provide sufficient funding through a good financial settlement for local government in September 2007s Comprehensive Spending Review to enable councils to carry out pay and grading reviews and provide equal pay in local government.

This motion has been signed by a total of 104 MPs.
