Telling It Straight (26/01/18)



Frances Stojilkovic gives The Times journalist Marc Horne a piece of her mind for suggesting that Glasgow City Council may have to make unprecedented cuts in jobs and services to meet its obligations over equal pay.

Now I know women are great at 'multitasking', but Frances is doing this while she's away on holiday which is above and beyond the call of duty.

So let's see what The Times has to say tomorrow after Stefan and Frances have put the paper's gas at a peep.

Maybe we'll also find out who's behind this ridiculous, scaremongering talk.  

Frances

Hi Marc I believe your doing a story about our equal pay im one of the woman that's due a pay out and feel victimised again for getting what is ours we have worked all these years under paid and under valued we have been ripped off for years with GCC and the GMB union that Hasn't even fought for us woman for the second wave claim.WPBR so no we don't feel guilty for getting what should have been ours all these years some of my friends and college's have passed Way waiting on a settlement as Susan Aitken said its there problem and they will find the money to pay gave it is ours without its to our service users of you want to give me a call back feel free to do so .


Marc Horne

That's really helpful Frances. Many thanks! I agree with Susan. You all deserve to get what you earned and this historic wrong needs to be put right.x

You really have! Looks like the council is going to ask the Scottish and UK governments for loans to help them pay the £500 million bill.x


Frances

Yes but it's not our problem the last Labour council that created this mess so we shouldn't be made to feel guilty for what is ours i.e job cuts and for the council having to borrow the money x


Marc Horne 

Very true! I'll make sure that your and Stefan's views are made clear.x


Frances

Without cuts x

LGB Rights - Hijacked By Intolerant Zealots!

Now that we're a month away from the month formerly known as June, we can think about what's happened. Given the new events being rolled out in London, Manchester and across the States, I think this sums up the *erm* transition of Pride.

SNP - Conspiracy of Silence

So here's the issue - two Glasgow MSPs (Nicola Sturgeon and Humza Yousaf) have been asked a reasonable question about their use of public money to employ two SNP councillors who already have full-time, salaried jobs as senior elected members of Glasgow City Council.   But these two public servants (both long-serving ministers) refuse to answer, so what to do next? One regular reader suggests raising the matter on the floor of the Scottish Parliament which is a good idea, but requires an MSP who's prepared to put down a written question for Scottish Ministers to answer. So here's a list of activities which will help shine a light on what has been going on because as Lord Nolan once said apropos driving up standards in public life - 'daylight is the best disinfectant'. Write to the leader of Glasgow City Council Write to the Chief Executive of Glasgow City Council Write to all elected members in Glasgow City Council Write to the party leaders in Glasgow City Council W
