MSPs and Equal Pay
Readers in South Lanarkshire continue to get in touch to say that they have been busy contacting their MSPs.
Good - because that will help to hold South Lanarkshire to account - and will highlight the council's ludicrous behaviour over Freedom of Information.
If you've had a good experience - or a bad one for that matter - let me know and I'll share this on the blog site - without going into any personal details, of course.
The signs are that MSPs in South Lanarkshire are getting involved in the equal pay issue - as never before.
And it's fair to say that the five consituency MSPs who are all Labour MSPs - have been less active than others - perhaps because South Lanarkshire is a Labour dominated council.
But people can approach their List MSPs for help as well.
Constituency and List MSPs have exactly the same status - and List MSPs exist to provide people with choice and political balance.
So, you can approach whoever you like to take up your case - and more power to their elbow - whatever their politics and whichever party they represent.
