In Loving Memory - Mary Ross



Glasgow's March and Rally for Equal Pay held a minute's silence for all the claimants who have passed away since this long-running dispute began back in 2006/07.

Worked for GCC for EST 21yr , mum retired at 63 yr of age, she wasn't happy about it as she wanted to wrk on till the retirement age of 65..but the council didn't give her and another worker the choice. 

Mum was 72yrs old when she died of cancer on 6/10/16 she left behind 5 kids ..LINDA, MARY, BRENDA IAN &  CATHERINE.....mum wld have bn supportive of the actions that are on going and wld have been in full support of equal pay..

With regards Brenda Ross.

Thank you to Brenda and Tracy for sharing and our thoughts are very much with them
