Bit of a Mystery


A number of readers from Edinburgh have been in touch - mystified by a recent communication from their trade union.

Apparently the message is that trade union claimants in Edinburgh - in the former APT&C  category - are not to be made settlement offers by Edinburgh City Council.

Despite the fact that the same category of Action 4 Equality Scotland clients - were made settlement offers months ago.

'Can I shed any light on the situation?', people want to know - but unfortunately I can't as I'm not exactly privy to what the City Council is telling the trade unions - or vice versa.

What does suprise me though is why no explanation is provided by the trade unions - surely they must know what the issue or problem is - so why don't they just share this information with their members in Edinburgh?

It's all a bit strange - a bit of a mystery - if you ask me.

So if anyone has their ear to the ground, drop me a note - in complete confidence of course - at: markirvine@compuserve.com

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
