Abstract
This chapter examines the impact of the Equal Value (Amendment) Regulations on the local authority sector in Great Britain.1 It does so in two distinct sections — one covering the manual workers employed by local authorities, the other dealing with the authorities’ white-collar, or non-manual, employees. The distinction is made partly because the collective-bargaining arrangements are different for the two groups and involve, in the main, different unions; but more importantly because the concept of ‘equal value’ has impacted very differently on the two parts of the sector. The final section of the chapter consists why this may have been the case.
