Boys and their Toys
A regular reader has been in touch to ask why Tony Woodley's top of the range Range Rover - failed to get a mention in my recent post about Unite - the largest union in the UK.
See post dated 6 June 2010- 'In Charge of the Office'.
True, the general secretary's fancy car does seem a bit excessive - newspapers report the cost at a whopping great £45,000.
But what people do with their own money - by and large - is their own business, in my opinion.
And if boys want to spend large sums of money on grown up toys - then that's up to them - I think.
But if the car in question is being provided as part of the general secretary's remuneration package - then that's another matter altogether.
After all, why should Unite members pay for such extravagance out of their union contributions?
If Unite wants to set the record straight - I'm happy to share this information on the Action 4 Equality Scotland blog site.
