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.

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
