Feedback from NLC

A Home Support Worker from North Lanarkshire has been in touch to say that she has been speaking with a neighbour who works in one of the Council's traditional male jobs. 

And the person concerned is prepared to pass on details of how his particular job is paid and organised - including an explanation of recent changes brought in by Council management.

Here's what I said in an earlier post.

Traditional Male Jobs

In other councils, men in the traditional male jobs - refuse workers and gardeners etc - have played a crucial role in passing on information about the differences in pay and the way these jobs are organised. Claimants will often know male workers who work in these jobs as they might be neighbours, relatives or friends. The male workers understand that the fight is with the employer and that no one is attacking their jobs or the pay they receive - because the fight is all about a fair deal for the women workers.

So if anyone has a friend, neighbour or a relative who is able to pass on useful information then drop me a note because I'm happy to meet up and have a word - in complete confidence of course.     

But the more information I can lay my hands on the better, so let's hope people get stuck in and see what they can find out - I'm willing to meet with anyone who is willing to lend a hand, in confidence of course.
