Council and unions set to settle equal pay crisis 'for up to Β£300 million'
Speculation is rife that Birmingham City Council has agreed to settle discrimination claims
Time for an immediate moratorium on the cuts.
βThe final payment is expected to come 'nowhere near' the amounts predicted when the council dramatically announced it was in dire financial straits last year.β
