Elaine North, who has fronted the campaign for equal pay, said:

"What we got today was a big step forward and I don't think we will ever stop fighting to get what we are entitled to.

"I love my job and I'm a mum and a grandmother and we are fighting for what we have now and the generation that come after us. This is about all women.

"We started this case seven years ago, they kept knocking us back but Unison fought the fight for us and with us and I'm really grateful to everyone involved."
