I am a fully certified Arborist N.P.T.C and R.F.S cert Arb working for a housing company. my collegue and I undertatke all aspects of tree work, climbing, felling etc and do surveys, reports, hazard evaluations, diagnos pest and disease, common and statute law in relation to trees ie tree preservation orders (TPO). We are the only two in the company with these qualifications. We also have a workforce of joiners, plumbers, bricklayers. and all these trades carry out basic repairs to the properties. My collegue and I are as qualified as the other trades but in are own trade. Now they earn £6000 more than we do and do less work, do you feel that we have a case for pay discrimination?

Yes absolutely! Ask the bosses to justify the difference. If they wont budge, become a labourer for £6,000 more and none of the responsibility!
p.s. where are you? I need 8 lime trees lopped!

Have you heard of supply and demand? If you do more work for less money, why should they pay more? Maybe they can't get anyone to work in the other trades without paying more. That is not discrimination, its basic economics.
As puffy said, you could always take one of the higher paid jobs. It looks like you said you are qualified for them.
