North Lanarkshire Update



Here are some more kind words from a reader in North Lanarkshire reflecting on the long fight we've had with the Council over equal pay.

To all the wonderful workers at Action 4 Equality Scotland, especially you Mark.

 So I will happily pass these comments on to my colleagues and can I say that it has been a real pleasure to 'persuade' council employers in Scotland to face up to their obligations over equal pay.

Some Councils are allowed to cull them however, and usually do this by either poisoning or shooting them. How to catch your seagull.
