After the Sandie Peggie tribunal I’m looking forward to the Scottish media covering all employment tribunals with such intensity. At last we’ll get in-depth reporting on workers rights, low pay & unfair dismissal Unless of course there’s some other reason for the obsession. What could it be though?

Question: "To ask the relevant City
Convener if they agree with me
that plans by Reform leadership
in England to prevent new staff
from joining the local

and threatening to cut the pay
of existing staff would be
disastrous for recruitment

The credit for this campaign lies solely with the tenants and their union Living Rent. Politicians of all parties met with the landlord and they would not budge until they collectivised through their union. There's no credit for politicians to claim in this. www.livingrent.org

We believe in the collective power of tenants to come together to fight for their rights, and use diverse tactics – including direct action when necessary – to achieve this.
