Three home care workers have been told the council's 'liability' for their equal pay claims hasn't been shown despite Susan Aitken publicly acknowledging the authority had to fix unequal wages.
Glasgow City Council has been accused of holding up equal pay settlements for women after claiming they haven’t proved the money is due.
But the local authority says responsibility for claims by home carer staff Audrey Masson, Lorraine Donnachie and Helen Mitchell “has not been established”. The women are pursuing their own employment tribunals after being abandoned by their unions and lawyers.READ MORE: Sentencing of Glasgow child abuse gang postponed as judge warns "it can't go on"
