Apology and Correction Duly Noted (2)



Lots of people have been in touch about the apology and correction I received from Ruth Wishart - here are just some of the many comments from Glasgow's equal pay claimants. 

Let's hope that's the end of the matter, but rest assured that any more 'shenanigans' will be met with a very firm response.

What an embarrassment the woman is she should be ashamed of herself.

Apology and Correction Duly Noted (03/01/19)



Setting the record straight has been a feature of the long fight for equal pay - here's the latest example in which a journalist (Ruth Wishart) made some false and defamatory statements about me and Glasgow City Council's discriminatory pay arrangements.  

I'm pleased to say that Ruth agreed to correct the comments she made by issuing the following apology on her blog, Twitter and Facebook.

Mr Mark Irvine.

Since publishing my blog article “The Men Pulling The Equal Pay Strings on October 24th, I have been contacted by Mark Irvine of Action 4 Equality Scotland. 


Mr Irvine points out that he was not responsible in any way for the discriminatory pay arrangements operated by Glasgow City Council, and that he had left Unison’s Employment in November 1999, ie several years before the WPBR scheme was introduced. 

Mr Irvine has also pointed out that both he and Stefan Cross QC have played a key role in challenging and overturning the City Council’s discriminatory pay arrangements. 

I accept entirely the points that Mr Irvine has made and apologise to him without reservation. 

I am happy to set the record straight and am sharing this post with my followers on Twitter and Facebook.

Ruth Wishart


I responded to Ruth on Twitter by saying that her apology and correction were 'duly noted'.

Stefan Cross was pleased too and made his views known via the following Tweet
