Councillors were told on Monday that Dundee City Council has its “head in the sand” over an equal pay battle with women workers.
Testimony from support staff at Kingspark Primary was shared with councillors, with emotional accounts of unequal pay.
Women employed by Dundee City Council have lost out on thousands of pounds and are discriminated against “every day” according to the trade union GMB Scotland.
Trade union leaders representing female employees have hit out at their treatment by the local authority.
In a strongly worded letter to the leader of the city council, John Alexander, GMB rep Helen Meldrum claimed: “Your responses thus far unfortunately fail to acknowledge the extent of the discrimination that women who work in your city and across Tayside face.
