North Lanarkshire Update



Alex Neil is the MSP for Airdrie and Shotts and he's one of the few politicians to have stood up and spoken out over the issue of equal pay - in both North Lanarkshire and South Lanarkshire.

So I dropped Alex an e-mail and asked him for a comment on the good news in North Lanarkshire and here's what he had to say.

“At long last it looks as though NLC has come to its senses. It is scandalous that working people, mainly women, have had to wait for so many years to win equal pay from a council which is Labour run. I hope those who have been so badly treated by this council will get their own back on these Labour councillors when it comes to the elections this year for Westminster, next year for the Scottish Parliament and especially in 2017 when they will be up for re-election.

Jim Murphy should condemn Jim McCabe and Co for treating workers in this way and for their total disregard for women workers in particular.”


Now that's what I like someone who's not mealy-mouthed and doesn't pull their punches.
