Single Status - Mystery Deepens
Another reader from South Lanarkshire has been in touch.
A catering worker with the council - who says that she definitely did not receive a £500 incentive payment - when she was transferred over to fortnightly pay back in 2001/02.
See post dated 4 June 2011: 'Single Status in South Lanarkshire'.
Now this is very peculiar indeed - because the male workers, or at least some of the male workers - appear to have received a £500 one-off incentive payment - when they made exactly the same change.
So what would justify one group being treated very differently from another?
I can't think of a reason - a good reason at least - I have to be honest.
Maybe there is a sensible explanation, who knows?
But the council and the trade unions will know - for sure - because any such payment would have to be negotiated and agreed - between the management and trade unions.
In which case I suggest that people in South Lanarkshire start asking the obvious question - 'What exactly did happen and why?'.
