Having A Laugh
The 'Members Briefing' from Unison in South Lanarkshire is proving to be a big hit with readers - though for all the wrong reasons as far as the local union branch is concerned.
Here's another little gem from from December 2005 - setting out Unison's 'advice' to members on - Single Status, Equal Pay and South Lanarkshire:
"In brief, other councils are now rushing to catch up with the position arrived at in South Lanarkshire some time ago."
Now whoever wrote this must have been having a laugh - because no other council in Scotland has done what South Lanarkshire Council has done.
Seems to me that Unison was just acting as a mouthpiece for South Lanarkshire Council.
Instead of standing up for the interests of their low paid women members - who have lost out - compared to their counterparts in other Scottish councils.
