South Lanarkshire

Here's a brief update on the ongoing talks with South Lanarkshire Council which has been issued by Fox and Partners Solicitors - on behalf of all clients of Action 4 Equality Scotland.

"Further to our last update in October we have had a series of constructive meetings with the Council.  We require more time into the New Year before we can provide a further update and have arranged to meet with the Council again in January. As soon as we can make a public statement we will update the website. We appreciate your continued patience and cooperation.
"If we do not reach agreement on a scheme of settlement then we will proceed with the appeal  listed for 18th – 20th February 2014 in the EAT in Edinburgh.
"You will appreciate that as discussions progress we do not wish to make public comments on the website. However, as we now represent over 3,000 claimants with equal pay cases against South Lanarkshire Council, we have taken the decision to focus all of our resources upon our existing cases and to achieving settlement, if possible. This means that we will no longer be lodging any new claims against South Lanarkshire Council.
"To ensure that we can focus the work of our legal team please do not call or e-mail, instead we ask that you to visit www.foxandpartners.co.uk for any further information. We assure you that we will update the website early in 2014."


I explained in a previous post that there would not be a running commentary on these talks with the Council, but any further developments in the New Year will be reported on the blog site, as normal.

Now that we're a month away from the month formerly known as June, we can think about what's happened. Given the new events being rolled out in London, Manchester and across the States, I think this sums up the *erm* transition of Pride.

SNP - Conspiracy of Silence

Image
So here's the issue - two Glasgow MSPs (Nicola Sturgeon and Humza Yousaf) have been asked a reasonable question about their use of public money to employ two SNP councillors who already have full-time, salaried jobs as senior elected members of Glasgow City Council.   But these two public servants (both long-serving ministers) refuse to answer, so what to do next? One regular reader suggests raising the matter on the floor of the Scottish Parliament which is a good idea, but requires an MSP who's prepared to put down a written question for Scottish Ministers to answer. So here's a list of activities which will help shine a light on what has been going on because as Lord Nolan once said apropos driving up standards in public life - 'daylight is the best disinfectant'. Write to the leader of Glasgow City Council Write to the Chief Executive of Glasgow City Council Write to all elected members in Glasgow City Council Write to the party leaders in Glasgow City Council W
