14th October 2025 BBC News GMB Union settlement success.
A council’s equal pay dispute with its female staff has come to an end after a settlement was reached.
It follows an agreement in principle being reached last December as an “equal pay victory for women at Birmingham City Council”.
The case was brought by union involvement including GMB, on behalf of members working for the local authority and Birmingham Children’s Trust, with the GMB saying the landmark deal had been “hard won”, 13 years after a landmark court ruling.
This is a landmark decision for equality throughout public sector for women and can be said of anyone for equal pay.
