NLC (01/08/14)



As the summer holiday season in Scotland begins to draw to a close, I think this is probably a good time to post a brief update about the the ongoing fight for equal pay in North Lanarkshire.

As regular readers know a series of meetings has been arranged during August to pursue settlement talks with the Council, but if these discussions do not result in real progress towards resolving all the outstanding equal pay claims, then all the cases will return immediately to the Employment Tribunal in Glasgow.

For obvious reasons, there will not be a 'running commentary' on the settlement discussions with the Council, but as soon as there is any news to report (one way or the other) the details will be published here on the A4ES blog site.

Lots of people will have been on holiday during July and so I plan to re-post various articles from the blog site about North Lanarkshire, which have been published over the past month or so, to bring everyone bang up to date.

I have been as active as ever on the Freedom of Information (FoI) front and there are some very interesting developments to share with readers from North Lanarkshire.

So watch this space.

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
