Equal Pay

I work for a large company, and there are two departments that do the same job.
However, one reported to Sales and the other reported to Customer Service. It has come to light that the members of staff that report to the Sales department are paid more than the staff working in the Customer Services department It varies but its up to £1500 a year.
For years we have been told that we are wrong in this assumption. However, we are now sure it is the case, added to the fact the two departments have been amalgamated under Sales.
12 months on and we are told that pay 'may' be on the agenda next year.
What should we do to make this be taken seriously?

As its not illegal discrimination then they could just put their foot down and say tough.
You need to work together, they might harmonise pay but remember that doesn't neccersarily mean they will up yours, they may drop the others.
