No, I'm suggesting that a male bin person be paid the same as a female bin person and likewise for female and male TAs. I know the legislation suggests 'like' roles should be paid the same but it is utterly ridiculous to suggest that these two roles are similar. So bin people are predominatley...

So this legislation, why do private employers not have to adhere to it ? If I hire an engineer then I advertise the role with a package. It may well not be the same package that my other engineers get.

I might not know the precise detail of what a TA does but you don't need to know to be able to tell a TA role is in no way similar to a binmans role. I doubt very much that a binman spends a huge amount of time on his round assisting children with learning. Likewise I doubt a TA spends much time...

Quite possibly but sadly the public sector are too stupid to see the differences.

The last time the council used a private contractor to run the service it was utter chaos. It would also be illegal for them not to TUPE the current staff across.

Maybe, maybe not. My point being that a binman should be paid for being a binman and a TA should be paid for being a TA, hardly rocket science but it would appear to be beyond the public sector.

Because the jobs of a binman and a Teaching Assistant are so so similar aren't they ? ..... not !

Small but important point - City Clean only collect non-commercial waste so you're probably complaining to the wrong people. Or your company are ripping off the taxpayer.

Just out of interest, would you be happy taking a pay cut just because some idiotic ruling made your job equal with somebody elses totally unrelated and unsimilar job ?
