Glasgow's Fight for Equal Pay



Here's a message from Stefan Cross on the fight for equal pay in Glasgow City Council.

I'm sure as the weeks go by there will be lots of inspiring stories to share about how this long struggle has changed people's lives for the better.

  

THIS IS WHY I'VE FOUGHT FOR 14 LONG YEARS

Some folk have questioned my motives in carrying on this fight for so long. Accusing me of just doing it for the money.

They could not be more wrong. But last night I got this message from one client :

‘Words fail me Stefan. What you've done for the women (and men) of Glasgow is unbelievable. What this means to us is beyond words. For me it means I can quit my 2nd job that sometimes sees me working 7 days a week and takes me away from my kids. It means I can resume my studies and make a better life for me and and my family. It means i get my life back. I know there is still a way to go but we are all so close. Thank you. Thank you from the bottom of my heart, to you and your entire team! 😁’

This is why I did it. To change women’s lives. The money is just a means to an end. 

I hope that when you get your cheques many more of you will have stories like this.

"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 "
