Roadshow Farce



GMB members continue to share their accounts of the 'Roadshow' meetings on equal pay which were held in North Lanarkshire last week. 

Hi Mark

Just seen your blog today about the woman who has taken her offer because she felt she had no choice in case she lost it, I feel heart sorry for her, my offer was a couple of hundred pounds, so was easy to turn down.

I'm beginning to think the GMB has gagged it representatives, as we are getting no advice from them.

I myself was told nothing at the roadshow except that i could take my offer, refuse it or go away and think about it no explanation about how it was calculated or anything, spent less than five minutes in the place.

What happens next, we don't know

It's almost as if the GMB wants these low paid members to accept poor settlement offers even though these are worth much less than all of the other equal pay claimants in North Lanarkshire.

"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...
