Bit of a Mystery


A number of readers from Edinburgh have been in touch - mystified by a recent communication from their trade union.

Apparently the message is that trade union claimants in Edinburgh - in the former APT&C  category - are not to be made settlement offers by Edinburgh City Council.

Despite the fact that the same category of Action 4 Equality Scotland clients - were made settlement offers months ago.

'Can I shed any light on the situation?', people want to know - but unfortunately I can't as I'm not exactly privy to what the City Council is telling the trade unions - or vice versa.

What does suprise me though is why no explanation is provided by the trade unions - surely they must know what the issue or problem is - so why don't they just share this information with their members in Edinburgh?

It's all a bit strange - a bit of a mystery - if you ask me.

So if anyone has their ear to the ground, drop me a note - in complete confidence of course - at: markirvine@compuserve.com

Some Councils are allowed to cull them however, and usually do this by either poisoning or shooting them. How to catch your seagull. Remember this is against the law in the U.K. I don't want the Men in Blue knocking at the door because someone said that Foodimum told them it was okay to catch and eat seagulls. It isn...
