Is the developer any good?
I never got into slides, but when I did develope B&W i'd get a yellowish tint if the paper or the devolper wasn't any good.

You didn't say if the color cast was extreme. If it is severe I would guess the color developer is old or off temp. Temperature control in E-6 is critical.
You can not remove the color cast post processing with slide. What you see is what you got. To remove it you would need to scan the slides and print them out to paper OR send them to a lab and have them color correct the images and convert them to slides. A company called PhotoImages can do slide to slide color conversions but they aren't cheap. Are you shooting daylight film in a tungsten setting? I assume if you are processing your own slides you know the difference. I really think the days of slide are numbered. I have lost all same-day slide processing in my medium sized city. You might be lucky if you live in a larger metro area.
Good luck.....color in slide is a picky process.

There is a variation in temperature from one liquid to the other, seems to me it is to high in the color developer.
Also, the way you take the pix, the temperature of the light; -are you using tungsten or daylight?
Try using a bluish filter over the lens (color correction)
