North Lanarkshire



UNFINISHED BUSINESS

Now that South Lanarkshire has settled all of its outstanding equal pay claims, the focus of attention is now switching to neighbouring North Lanarkshire Council - where equal pay is still very much a live issue.

Action 4 Equality Scotland (A4ES) is leading the way as far as the fight for equal pay in North Lanarkshire is concerned, just as we did in South Lanarkshire and all the other councils across Scotland.

So for the moment equal pay is very much ‘unfinished business’ as far as A4ES is concerned and here are some key issues that have still to be resolved.

  • A fair and just settlement of the equal pay claims submitted by former APT&C Workers - so-called Equal Value claims from employees in a wide range of clerical and other ‘salaried’ or ‘white collar’ jobs
  • A full and just settlement of all the equal pay claims submitted by former Manual Workers which have been settled only partially up until now - A4ES continues to be pursue these cases vigorously at the Glasgow Employment Tribunal.
  • A4ES’s success in South Lanarkshire has driven home the message that lots of council employees in North Lanarkshire have still to protect their interests by registering an equal pay claim.

Now that we're a month away from the month formerly known as June, we can think about what's happened. Given the new events being rolled out in London, Manchester and across the States, I think this sums up the *erm* transition of Pride.

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'.
