South Lanarkshire

Another supportive letter on equal pay has winged its way - to the Hamilton Advertiser this week.

Isn't it great to hear that the fight for equal pay in South Lanarkshire - has support from the 'airts and pairts' of Scotland. 

WRONG NOT TO PAY UP

I am writing to concerning the articles in the advertiser about equal pay claims in South Lanarkshire Council.

Quite frankly , South Lanarkshire Council's behaviour in all this is absurd and extremely worrying.

Thanks to Mark Irvine and his astute perseverance in this case, the can of worms has finally been opened - and the worms just keep coming out of the can!

There is no place left for them to hide now.

South Lanarkshire Council  have failed their staff miserably over equal pay, and had to be held to ransom over the Freedom of Information Act.

It is time this council got their act together and sorted out their equal pay claims for low paid workers, and the sooner the better for all concerned.

Thanks to the Advertiser for this informative journalism. Your associates in the Guardian would have a hey day with this!

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
