North Lanarkshire



I'm off to the Employment Tribunals today to the ongoing hearing involving North Lanarkshire Council which has been underway for several months - Action 4 Equality Scotland (A4ES) clients are being represented by one of the leading barristers in the UK, Daphne Romney QC.

I gave evidence at the North Lanarkshire tribunal a couple of months ago, so I will be interested to hear how the case has moved on since I was last there. 

 Watch this space for further news.

North Lanarkshire (9 March 2014)


UNFINISHED BUSINESS

Now that South Lanarkshire has settled all of its outstanding equal pay claims, the focus of attention is switching to neighbouring North Lanarkshire Council - where equal pay is still very much a live issue.

Action 4 Equality Scotland (A4ES) is leading the way as far as the fight for equal pay in North Lanarkshire is concerned, just as we did in South Lanarkshire and all the other councils across Scotland.

So for the moment equal pay is very much ‘unfinished business’ as far as A4ES is concerned and here are some key issues that have still to be resolved.

  • A fair and just settlement of the equal pay claims submitted by former APT&C Workers - so-called Equal Value claims from employees in a wide range of clerical and other ‘salaried’ or ‘white collar’ jobs
  • A full and just settlement of all the equal pay claims submitted by former Manual Workers which have been settled only partially up until now - A4ES continues to pursue these cases vigorously at the Glasgow Employment Tribunal.
  • A4ES’s success in South Lanarkshire has driven home the message that lots of council employees in North Lanarkshire have still to protect their interests by registering an equal pay claim.


SO DON’T GET LEFT BEHIND

Kentucky Fried Seagull

Hugh Fearnley Whitingstall is one of my favourite - and endearingly bonkers - TV chefs. The River Cottage chef has a some imaginative ideas for adding seagulls to the national diet - including a recipe for Kentucky Fried Seagull - would you believe. Here's what HFW has to say on the subjecy -  I think I'll contact Hugh - and ask if he'll join the TAPAS campaign. "Vermin with wings? Chicken of the sea? Or just an opportunity missed?" "First and foremost, before we all go on a mad seagull killing frenzy. In the U.K it is against the law to kill seagulls or interfere with their nests under the countryside and wildlife act. 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...
