North Lanarkshire Update



Here's a great letter to the new leader of Labour-run North Lanarkshire Council, Councillor Jim Logue, from one of the many Home Carers still fighting for equal pay. 

"Hi Mr Logue,

I am a home support worker for  NLC and have worked in the job for 15 years. I am working along side colleagues Male and Female Who have all received  their Equal Pay Claim  nearly ten months ago.

Kind regards 



"A Home Carer"
