GCC Owes Its Home Care Workforce An Apology (21/10/18)



Good evening Glasgow!

I've been in London all day at the March and Rally in support of a People's Vote on the final terms of any Brexit Deal - or No Deal, for that matter.

So I was unable to respond properly to the disgusting attack launched by Glasgow City Council earlier today on the Home Care workforce, the equal pay strike and the trade unions, GMB and Unison.

Now this vile message (that the Glasgow carers don't care about their clients) could only have come from the chief executive's office - or the Council Leader's office.

No one else within Glasgow City Council would even dare to speak in such a way without the highest level of clearance before speaking to an important local newspaper like the Evening Times. 

So who is responsible for this ugly, cowardly act?

Let's hear from Annemarie O'Donnell and the Council Leader, Cllr Susan Aitken!

In the meantime, here's a much more appropriate Facebook comment from Stefan Cross on behalf of Action 4 Equality Scotland - and the thousands of claimants still fighting for their right to equal pay.

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'.
