Supreme Court to have final say in Birmingham equal pay case

I am an ex Employee of Birmingham City council awaiting to hear of the claim i made against them. I think it is absolutely disgusting if they get away with this. i have always worked since leaving school and working as a care assistant for Birmingham City council was one of the hardest jobs I have had to do as well as raising a child as a lone parent. To think that this organisation has deliberately kept us women down by low unequal pay is cruel and heartless. We have earned every penny of that money owed unlike the big corporations that steal money! I am in debt up to my eyeballs because of the ripple effect of this and still I get up and go to work even though all I want to do is give up through being tired of the constant inequality I have to suffer for being a female. Fact is look at the statistics of the women that work in these roles, they are more often than not either women of colour and or single moms, hence the discrimination in the first instance. Think about what women really contribute to society and think about how little say they have in things. Birmingham City council should pay what they OWE and stop forcing women and families into poverty through discrimination!
