Glasgow - Equal Pay News

Image result for breaking news + images

 A kind reader from Glasgow has drawn an email from Unite to my attention in which the union apparently says some rather silly things about the Birmingham bin men's dispute.

If anyone can forward this Unite email on to me I'd be much obliged, because I'm a great believer in setting the record straight - especially when it comes to the role of the trade unions and the long fight for equal pay.

 Hi Mark 

 Just to check have you heard about the email doing the rounds from Unite to Scottish members asking to support the Birmingham bin men? Apparently it's because A4E and Stefan Cross have caused them to lose wages. Uttter tosh me and the work mates haven't laughed so much in a long time. Union haven't lifted a finger to help our drivers (special needs) yet they've got the gall to circulate this to members.

Yes, what a lot of old baloney - because it was the trade unions who looked after the interests of just a small section of the council workforce while ignoring all of the female dominated jobs and non-bonus earning jobs done by men, including special needs drivers and school janitors.

Complete hypocrites if you ask me and they should be ashamed of their behaviour - because that's not what trade unionism is about.

Regards

"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
