All MSPs and MPs hold regular surgeries - that's often the best way for local constituents to raise concerns - and it would be quite acceptable for people to go along in small groups. If you need any further advice, please let us know.

You don't need to be an expert on equal pay to seek a meeting with your MSP or MP.

The key points to get across are the huge and unjustifiable differences in pay, the fact that people have been kept in the dark by both the employers and the unions and that other councils in Scotland are now trying to settle the issue.

So, why is North Lanarkshire Council still dragging its feet?

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'.
