If I were a local authority *still* engaging in discrimatory practices, I'd be worried right now. Glasgow - Biggest ever equal pay strike! Birmingham - Biggest Equal pay coverup, uncovered!
GMB Women's Campaign Unit is winning for women all over the country ✊️ @GMB_union – at Macclesfield, England
.@BhamCityCouncil have stolen £700m+ from working women.
Talk of enquiries, threats over jobs but only thing we should be hearing is:
1. Sorry for the harm that has been caused
2. How they will pay women back what has been stolen from them, as quickly as possible.
This absolutely shocking admission from Birmingham City Council would never have come to light if it were not for @GMB_union members & fabulous reps standing firm, and refusing to allow the city to sweep it under the carpet with a paltry pay off! 💪 ✊️

Breaking 🚨@UKLabour run Birmingham City Council admits equal pay failure as 1000s of @GMB_union women members sue their employer AGAIN.
See below shameful email from Chief Exec that threatens services to pay for her Council’s discrimination of women workers.
Shameful
These women have sat patiently for 6 months, willing the employer to do the right thing - pay them fairly. Today, they'd had enough. They stood up, and they took control. No one wants to take strike action. But destiny is in your hands and not in those of your employers.

It was a privilege to be invited to speak at last nights Birmingham rally on behalf of @GMBMidlands and our striking members. The message was clear, there are no political superheroes we must organise!

Cold morning but the coffee has been flowing since the crack of dawn! Solidarity with @gmbNHSwmastaff
Glasgow women have won thier right to equal pay. They organised themselves and they took it directly to the councils door. @BrumLeader, you need to do the right thing now. You need to take control. @GMBMidlands women are taking thier lead from this amazing team @ShonaGmbGlasgow

Whilst @BrumLeader may want to brush any liability under the carpet. @GMBMidlands are not going away. Our voice is being heard and our women are organising. Sex discrimination has no place here.

"The Equal Pay Act has never won us anything, women workers organising themselves win Equal Pay" @GMBMichelleH speaking at @TUCMidlands equality conference
Big well done to GMB Birmingham Public Service Activist Jan
We all deserve fair pay. Birmingham City Council could easily resolve the Equal Pay issues our women workers face
Overwhelming support for this motion at @WMLabour conference today.
@BrumLeader hope you were listening?
Our women members have been short changed for decades. @BhamCityCouncil accept this, but still delay doing the right thing and fixing it once and for all. @GMBBirmPubServ deserve better, and demand equal pay justice. Now! ✊
Who is really running @BhamCityCouncil?
The people of the city didn’t elect the legal officers tying themselves in knots trying to deny our members pay justice.
Whether the @BrumLabour leadership is weak or malicious, if it takes a strike ballot to focus minds then so be it.
GMB Women In Birmingham City Council are organising, they won't stop until they're paid their worth.
We're shining a light on the discrimatory practices of the largest authority in the UK.@BrumLeader @BhamCityCouncil
Fifty four years later and we're still having to fight this fight.
@GMB_union will always stand on the side of women workers.
The time is now #ImWorthMore #EqualPayBirmingham
On 7th June 1968, hundreds of women went on strike in a fight for their work to be valued equally to their male counterparts. The Ford Dagenham strike led to the Equal Pay Act. Over 50 years later we are still fighting for equal pay across Birmingham @GMBBirmPubServ

GMB members in @BhamCityCouncil are fighting for equal pay, but the council has gone quiet and the @BrumLabour manifesto doesn't commit to ending sex discrimination.
If GMB members have to strike for pay justice like they did in Glasgow, then our union will not be found wanting.
We’ve asked all the Labour candidates standing to be Councillors in Birmingham to support the @GMB_union fight for pay justice
We’d like to thank everyone who has stood by us and we’ll be publishing the full list soon

I met this group of workers a few years ago. Due to privatisation, they knew they were on a fast track to the bottom of the pay scale & were treated as such by the employer. They joined @GMB_union, some became reps, they organised! Now, they take the ultimate stand. Solidarity – at Macclesfield, England
📣 @GMB_union members working for #Amey in #Solihull have voted overwhelmingly to take strike action over pay
birminghammail.co.uk/news/mi…
Another authority sticking its head in the sand, ignoring its duty, ignoring its undervalued staff.
@GMB_union women know their value, GMB women know their worth, GMB women Never back down.
Solidarity to you all! @Birmingham take note!... GMB women are standing strong 💪 – at Macclesfield, England
It's been a long week launching our campaign! But I am humbled by the support shown by our GMB members and reps in such a small amount of time. Together we will stomp out the injustice & push Birmingham City Council to address and fix the problem one and for all! @GMBWestMidlands – at Macclesfield, England
GMB fighting and supporting our members regarding the Pay Justice campaign against Birmingham Council. Members first, industrialise, organise, mobilise and fight for your rights to equality and equal pay! #EQUALPAY @GMB_union @GMBWestMidlands @GMBMichelleH @GMB_JanWadrup
