Where to get help

There are a number of organisations that can advise you on equal pay and your employment rights:

Your trade union representative or shop steward will be able to provide you with information about what your trade union is doing to address the gender pay gap. They will also be able to advise you about your specific workplace.

To find out which union you should join, call the Scottish Trades Union Congress on 0141 337 8100 or email info@stuc.org.uk.

The Equality and Human Rights Commission is a great source of information about equal pay and sex discrimination. Its helpline is available on 0845 604 5510 between 9 am and 5 pm, Monday to Friday.

ACAS provides a wide range of advice on employment law and workers’ rights. Their helpline is available on 08457 47 47 47.
