Dear All
The ‘Summer of Discontent’ has started in Glasgow.
The Glasgow Labour Council of shame set up arms length companies fronted by Labour Party members, relatives, friends and associates.
The Aleos seem to have a knack of benefiting the Labour Party.
While people attached to the Labour Party enjoy the cream, the workers get shabby treatment.
The workers of Culture and Sport Glasgow are out on strike.
Culture and Sport is run by Bridget McConnell, wife of Jack McConnell, she pulls in £132,000k.
And delivers crap!
So, why the strike, the dispute is over the organisation's bid to freeze wages and cut overtime.
Unison, Unite, GMB and Bectu unions say they had no other option to walkout after talks to resolve the dispute failed.
One of the features of the Labour Council of shame moves to destroy and dismantle Glasgow is the Aleo programme the upshot is the cutting of pay and conditions for the workers.
And the second day of action is 6th May.
That means there could be a real problem because that is the day of voting.
Community centres due to be used as polling stations could be affected by the action, but Culture and Sport Glasgow insists no polling stations will be closed.
So, more failure from Bridget McConnell, more problems not resolved, as the Labour controlled quango limps on with her poor leadership.
I think we will be seeing a lot more strike action in Glasgow as the Steven ‘bin laden’ Purcell experiment further implodes.
Bridget McConnell should ‘pay up for Glasgow and resign’.
Yours sincerely

The "Bonfire of Quangos" and jobs for political cronies can not come soon enough, what an affront to common decency.

well said CrazyDaisy but when are the SNP going to step up to the plate on quangos? As far as I can tell they aren't paying any heed to the problems...No bonfire, not even a whiff of smoke by the Scottish Government, someone has lost their cajones.
