Glasgow’s Green councillors helped to secured another huge step for a fairer, greener city at our most recent fullI was delighted that cllr Anthony Carroll’s motion, calling on the council to back the Unite trade union’s Get Me Home Safely campaign was agreed unanimously.
As a result of the motion, the council will now look to strengthen existing licensing policies, encourage employers to act on their duty of care, and improve access to safe, affordable late night transport. Appropriately then, in the same council meeting, we also debated the settling of claims related to sex discrimination in the council’s pay and grading system, which disadvantaged mostly women workers for so long.Settling these claims should never have been resisted by the previous Labour administration for so long, and it was extremely disappointing that Labour colleagues couldn't show some humility by backing the motion.
Have things changed so much that we can guarantee discrimination-free policies in the future? And will we always do what's right by our workers, not what's expedient? These are important questions to keep asking ourselves.
