Birmingham city council has reached an agreement to settle historical equal pay claims, addressing a £760m liability that pushed the authority into effective bankruptcy.
Union leaders called this a historic outcome for women at the council, bringing pay justice within reach amid longstanding equal pay disputes.
John Cotton, the leader of the council, noted that the pay agreement signifies the conclusion of intense dialogue with unions, indicating a new era of relations.
The cabinet committee will formally approve the confidential terms of the framework agreement which is seen as a critical step in the council's financial recovery.
