It will affect every single resident in Sutton and Birmingham, every service, every future and every family- Birmingham have again discovered they owe £760m in equal pay claims- despite settling the issue in 2012.

Bear in mind the Council’s entire working budget in a year is £750m, unions have warned council about this for years, and they have in effect let the situation in 2008 carry on uncorrected- it is a huge problem that amounts to dangerous negligence, or just incompetence. I strongly encourage everyone to read up on this.
