Chalk vs Cheese

Compare and contrast these two statements following a cross party meeting of the various opposition parties at Westminster (Labour, SNP, Liberals, Plaid and Green).

What is clear is that Jeremy Corbyn remains committed to the ridiculous notion of a 'Jobs First' Brexit instead of prioritising a People's Vote on the final terms of any deal.



  

Chalk vs Cheese (08/11/18)

Both before and after Glasgow's historic strike for equal pay some people, mainly politicians, were arguing that industrial action was unnecessary, unjustified and would not change anything.

Yet here's what Stefan Cross had to say about the difference in settlement talks with the Council since the strike took place.

As I put in my update last week. The meetings are now serious. Like chalk and cheese compared to before the strike.

So let's hope things continue in this vein and that further industrial action is not necessary because that would be in everyone's best interests.

 

Nae Pasaran! (06/11/18)

Lots of readers have been in touch to say that they are going along to the Glasgow Film Theatre to see 'Nae Pasaran!'

I hope the film lives up to the billing I've given it, but let me know what you think yourselves.

Because the people involved in the fight for equal pay in Glasgow - and the recent strike in the city - have every reason to be proud of the stand that they've made.

Because just like the Rolls Royce workers ordinary people sometimes make history by doing the right and decent thing.  

   

Nae Pasaran! (05/11/18)

I was at the Glasgow Film Theatre last night to see 'Nae Pasaran', a hugely enjoyable and uplifting film that tells the story of the workers and union members at the Rolls Royce plant in East Kilbride who refused to work on aircraft engines which had been sent for repair to Scotland by General Pinochet's brutal fascist regime in Chile.

Go and see the movie for yourself - it will put a real spring in your step and make you proud.

Especially those of you who have been involved in the historic events surrounding the long fight for equal pay in Glasgow City Council.
