Fife Council Update

Fife Council is another council where Action 4 Equality Scotland (A4ES) has a large number of outstanding equal pay cases, 2nd wave claims.

Now the council has been dragging its feet over these claims for years, but the good news is that the Employment Tribunals has now agreed dates to hear these cases and 20 days have been set aside from 6th October to 2nd November 2015.

The current leader of the Council is David Ross, the Labour councillor for Kirkcaldy North, and David took over the reins from Alex Rowley who is now a Labour MSP in the Scottish Parliament, of course.

Now Alex had lots of advice for the Scottish Labour leader, Jim Murphy, and led the way in calling for his resignation last week which I find quite surprising, I have to say.

Because the Labour in Fife has hardly covered itself in glory with this stubborn refusal to settle all of its outstanding equal play claims.

So who knows, maybe Alex will reflect on his own advice to the Scottish Labour leader and tender his resignation forthwith.

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...
