More Kind Words
Understandably, many readers get frustrated and angry - at the foot dragging antics of the council employers over equal pay.
But here are some kind words from a reader in the west of Scotland which should provide some encouragement - to the many council employees still fighting for a fair settlement of their equal pay claims.
"Hi Mark,
You and Stefan Cross deserve the highest accolade for all you have done for normal working women in Scotland's local authorities.
I know it has taken five years in my case, but you have achieved more than two and half times the settlement sum which the Council originally offered me. Congratulations and good hunting against those Local Authorities still reluctant to comply with what is right.
Most Councils' wages and finance chiefs should be ashamed. They must have known, at the outset, that the original offers recommended for settlement, were far far too low.
No doubt they thought that trusting home carers would accept, in the belief that fellow council staff would not let them down with bad advice.
Aye, some hope, but thankfully a true white knight, a great champion in the form of Stefan Cross arose to fight for the cause.
It took a long time, oh yes it did, but worth it in the end.
Many grateful thanks.
