North Lanarkshire Update

I have a couple off meetings arranged in North Lanarkshire later this week so things are beginning to heat up in the ongoing battle over equal pay.

I am not publishing details of these meetings because these have been arranged by local people who know where and when suitable venues are available for their own employee group. 


So as I said in a recent post, anyone looking to arrange a local meeting in North Lanarkshire should identify a likely venue and then drop me a note with a suggested date and time.

North Lanarkshire Update (05/02/16)

I've had lots of enquiries about arranging local meetings in North Lanarkshire to discuss a variety of ongoing issues on equal pay.

Just to be crystal clear, I am not organising and advertising these meetings myself - as in the past people are making local arrangements to suit themselves and, of course, the various staff groups involved. 

Because folks on the ground know when and where is best to meet using suitable venues such as: community centres, church halls, social clubs, miners welfare clubs, etc etc.

So let's go to it and really start to raise the political temperature in North Lanarkshire over the next few months. 

  

North Lanarkshire Update (04/02/16)

I promised the other day to re-publish some posts from the blog site archive regarding the pay and rations awarded to North Lanarkshire Council's chief officials.

In the weeks ahead I aim to turn up the heat on the political leadership of the Council for its spineless behaviour over equal pay for the past 10 years and more.

But 'many hands make light work' and it is vital that as many people as possible get stuck in between now and the Scottish Parliament elections in May.

If you ask me, the Council needs a change of leadership.

As well as an independently-led inquiry into the terrible mess that the current Labour administration has made of its pay arrangements and its behaviour over equal pay.
