Episode Details

Glasgow City Council is set to close a decade-long equal pay battle with a sweeping new pay structure for 24,000 non-teaching staff, launching next April—but it comes at a cost: roughly 11% of workers could see pay cuts. The plan, aimed at fixing historic inequities and ending a dispute that’s already cost the council £770 million in payouts, includes six months of pay protection for affected employees, new allowances, and standardized holiday pay. Council leader Susan Aitken acknowledges the personal hardship but insists this is the final step toward true equality. Unions including UNISON, Unite, and GMB strongly oppose the plan, warning it doesn’t go far enough and risks repeating past injustices, and are preparing protests to block its approval.
