Season's Greetings



I received a Christmas card from Unison the other day, right out of the blue, signed by the general secretary, Dave Prentis, which I found a bit odd because I haven't received anything like this for many a year.

Though to be fair, I haven't been exactly good at keeping in touch with Dave either.

 So I got to thinking.

 Maybe it's belated recognition of my sterling efforts in the fight for equal pay, who knows?  

 Maybe the penny has finally dropped over what's been going on in North Lanarkshire and South Lanarkshire Councils right under the unions' noses.

 In any event, 'tis the season to be jolly', so I think I'll reciprocate by sending my old chums at Unison a Xmas greeting.

 PS The reason for the image of Buckingham Palace with the Royal Horse Guard riding by is that this is similar to the scene on the Unison Christmas card - a rather surprising, traditional choice, but there you are.

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'.
