Glasgow's Home Carers


As regular readers know, I am looking to make contact with A4ES clients in Glasgow who live in the Glasgow Shettleston Council ward of Cllr Frank McAveety (the Council leader) and the Glasgow Southside constituency of Nicola Sturgeon MSP (Scotland's First Minister).

I am making steady progress apart from the fact that few Home Care workers have been in touch, so far at least

So we need to step things up a bit because Home Carers are a key group and the largest single group of claimants. 

I've met with lots and lots of Glasgow Home Carers over the years at different venues in Shettleston and also in the south side of Glasgow, in Govan and elsewhere.

I know there are thousands of A4ES Home Care clients and while the festive season is a busy time of year, I'd be obliged if some more folks could take the time and trouble to respond to the post below.

A4ES clients in other job categories are still welcome to respond, of course, and I will explain what I have in mind over the coming days/weeks.

 As I've said before the fight for equal pay in not a spectral sport and the more people who get involved the sooner this will all be over.

  

Glasgow and Equal Pay (13/12/16)


I've heard from several A4ES clients in Cllr Frank McAveety's Glasgow Shettleston ward, but no one so far from the Glasgow Southside constituency of Nicola Sturgeon, Scotland's First Minister.

The only information I need at this stage from people is:

1 Your full name and post code
2 Jour job title
3 Your email address 
4 Your contact phone number
5 A commitment to support the Glasgow campaign via Twitter and Facebook

So drop me a note and I'll add those who respond to my mailing list, as we will have some activities to get our teeth into in the New Year: markirvine@compuserve.com 

  

Glasgow City Council Update


I have heard from the first A4ES equal pay claimants in the local electoral ward and constituency of Glasgow City Council leader Frank McAveety and First Minister/MSP Nicola Sturgeon.

But I could to with some more volunteers, preferably in a variety of different council jobs as this will have maximum effect.

So spread the word amongst friends and co-workers in Glasgow City Council on Twitter and Facebook because the more people who get involved the sooner this will all be over.

Remember the old saying - many hands make light work!

  

Glasgow City Council Update (09/12/16)


A4ES clients in Glasgow have a crucial role to play in persuading the City Council to live up to its obligations over equal pay.

I am keen to make contact with A4ES clients in Glasgow who have Cllr. Frank McAveety as their local councillor and Nicola Sturgeon as their local MSP.

Frank McAveety is a Labour councillor in the city's Shettleston ward and the current Council Leader; Nicola Sturgeon is the Member of the Scottish Parliament (MSP) for Glasgow Southside and also Scotland's First Minister .

A4ES clients can check if they live within the Shettleston ward or Glasgow Southside constituency by visiting one of the following links:

Scottish Parliament link

If any A4ES clients living in these two areas get in touch, I'll explain what I have in mind: markirvine@compuserve.com

Kentucky Fried Seagull

Hugh Fearnley Whitingstall is one of my favourite - and endearingly bonkers - TV chefs. The River Cottage chef has a some imaginative ideas for adding seagulls to the national diet - including a recipe for Kentucky Fried Seagull - would you believe. Here's what HFW has to say on the subjecy -  I think I'll contact Hugh - and ask if he'll join the TAPAS campaign. "Vermin with wings? Chicken of the sea? Or just an opportunity missed?" "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't... P

What a complete hoot - these hypocrites have no shame! Peter Murrell  @PeterMurrell "Anonymous political donations supposed to be a thing of the past. Yet Scottish Tories pocketed £319,000 from secretive trust with no fixed address or known current trustees. @Conservatives legally responsible for checking true identity of donors before accepting cash. #DarkMoney "
