## Resource

Leeds City Council faces a massive pay dispute involving over 4,000 women, allegedly underpaid for roles like teaching assistants compared to male-dominated jobs like refuse collection—potentially worth hundreds of millions. The GMB union is refusing to back down, demanding full repayment for every woman affected. While some settlements were reached late last year, no final agreement exists for the remaining claims, and council leaders stress financial responsibility while continuing talks to find a fair resolution.
