Glasgow - Even More Equal Pay Updates!



Here's statement from the GMB on the latest development in the fight for equal pay in Glasgow City Council. 

I think this speaks for itself and there's no need for further comment from me - not least because its short, sharp and to the point. 

  



Earlier today a communication was received from the Council discussing some demands made on Equal Pay. These commitments were to complete the equal pay negotiations by the end of the year, to scrap WPBR and to implement a new, fully funded job evaluation scheme.

GMB’s position is that there is no material change in the situation following this letter.

We have made the mistake before of accepting promises that have not materialised and we won’t do that again.

We will continue to work towards strike action until we have tangible progress on a fair and full settlement on equal pay. We are a long way away from the Council accepting the Claimants' position on what should be included in settlement and until agreement is reached, we will continue our fight.

We will update members with any further information.

SNP - Conspiracy of Silence

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'.
