Voting With Their Feet

Special Needs Assistants continue to vote with their feet - see the exchange of e-mails below with a reader from North Lanarkshire.

Similar enquiries are now coming in from Fife - because of the debacle over 'lost' paperwork and internal grading appeals.

If you feel the same way, drop mark Irvine a note at: markirvine@compuserve.com

"Dear B

Do you actually have a claim underway with Unison?

If so, you can simply transfer this to Action 4 Equality Scotland instead of starting up the whole process all over again.

All I need at this stage is your address and post code - to get things moving

Kind regards

Mark

Original Message - Subject: equal pay

Hi Mark,

My name is BC and I was given your e-mail by one of my school colleagues.

I have worked as a Special Needs Assistant since 2001.

I'm sure at the time of the equal pay dispute I filled in a claims form through the union Unison, but their response hasn't been great and they don't give much information.

I hope that you will be able to help me with this claim. If you could send me an Action 4 Equality Scotland claims form that would be great.

Look forward to hearing from you.

Yours

BB"

SNP - Conspiracy of Silence

Image
So here's the issue - two Glasgow MSPs (Nicola Sturgeon and Humza Yousaf) have been asked a reasonable question about their use of public money to employ two SNP councillors who already have full-time, salaried jobs as senior elected members of Glasgow City Council.   But these two public servants (both long-serving ministers) refuse to answer, so what to do next? One regular reader suggests raising the matter on the floor of the Scottish Parliament which is a good idea, but requires an MSP who's prepared to put down a written question for Scottish Ministers to answer. So here's a list of activities which will help shine a light on what has been going on because as Lord Nolan once said apropos driving up standards in public life - 'daylight is the best disinfectant'. Write to the leader of Glasgow City Council Write to the Chief Executive of Glasgow City Council Write to all elected members in Glasgow City Council Write to the party leaders in Glasgow City Council W
