 If you ask me, it's a sign of their terrible desperation; the workforce isn't being fooled because as Glaswegians say: "Our heads don't button up at the back." 
  

Track Records and Equal Pay (01/06/17)


I'll have more to say in the next few days about the role the trade unions have played in the long fight for equal pay in Glasgow - for the most part it's awful one, if you ask me.
