North Lanarkshire Update



Here's a great letter to the new leader of Labour-run North Lanarkshire Council, Councillor Jim Logue, from one of the many Home Carers still fighting for equal pay. 

"Hi Mr Logue,

I am a home support worker for  NLC and have worked in the job for 15 years. I am working along side colleagues Male and Female Who have all received  their Equal Pay Claim  nearly ten months ago. I am being represented by my Union GMB  and I think it is totally unfair and demoralising  to myself and other GMB colleagues that We  have not received  our Equal Pay. We do the same job , work long hours and yet we are being descriminated by our employers over our equal pay. I write to ask you for  your help 

And support in resolving our Claims. We need your Support just now just like you need our votes in election  time.

Kind regards 



"A Home Carer"

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
