Brass Necks and Trade Unions
A regular reader of the blog site has been in touch about the full-page advert from Unison which appeared in the Daily Record the other day - see post dated 12 May 2009.
The reader - a long-standing union member, by the way - came up with the perfect rejoinder to Unison's belated interest in equal pay, having kept its members in the dark for years:
"They must have been up all night polishing their brass necks", she said - as someone who was denied union support in 2005 and turned to Action 4 Equality Scotland and Stefan Cross for help with her equal pay claim.
It's not often that we're lost for words - but her comment hit the nail so squarely on the head - there's nothing more to say.
