Edinburgh City Council
Edinburgh City Council promised to get back to us about the proposed settlement offers by close of play on Thursday (13 September) - following a meeting that day of the council`s senior management team.
Not for the first time, the council has failed to keep to its own deadline.
As of midday on Friday, we can only conclude that the lack of contact from the council means that elected councillors are trying to renege on the agreement that is being recommended to them - by both senior officials and the council`s external legal advisers.
So, as things stand the fight goes on - and the best response we can make is to put Edinburgh councillors under pressure to think again.
See the post dated 18 August regarding Home Care Coordinators in Glasgow. When Glasgow City Council tried to renege on their agreement, they didn`t take it lying down - they got organised and fought back.
And that´s exactly what we need to do now in Edinburgh!
