Sheffield City Council faces wave of equal pay lawsuits as female workers demand fair wages. | ITV National News
Sheffield City council is to become the next to face thousands of equal pay claims- as female cleaners, carers and teaching assistants say they are missing out on up to £11,000 a year.
They say cleaners on grade 1 have comparable jobs to caretakers - but they are placed on grade 3 and earn £1,710 more.Meanwhile senior teaching assistants are two grades below night-time noise officers earning £11,383 less- a difference that the union argues is not justified. Meanwhile ITV news has revealed hundreds of new claims aimed at councils across the country including the two in Cumbria, Coventry, Dundee and most recently Sunderland.
