Equal pay claims in civil service

left some staff earning around o6,000 a year less than others doing the same job.
Senior PCS negotiator Geoff Lewtas said that "the continuing dispute is causing backlogs of work . but there is no clear sign" that the Treasury is willing to settle through negotiation."
