Glasgow's Labour Council of shame faces opposition as Unison opposes Steven 'bin laden' Purcell destroying infrastucture and jobs













Dear All

Glasgow Labour Party is the ‘destroyer of lives’ in the city, they rule the gerrymandered ghettos that ring the city, killing aspiration and opportunities to keep them in power.

Glasgow has been controlled by the Labour Council of shame led by Steven ‘bin laden’ Purcell for many years; the people have seen little benefits to their quality of life.

Big business has reaped rewards at the expenses of the people.

The people of Glasgow are suffering under the heel of the Labour boot, infrastructure destroyed and jobs all lost.

Now, the Glasgow branch of Scotland's largest public sector union is holding an open meeting later to fight proposed service cuts by the city council.

Unison is now fighting the plans by the Labour Council of shame which would see up to 600 staff at the council and its arms-length bodies lose their jobs.

Such is the scale of revolt that Unison has opened a union meeting to the public, at the Unison branch office in Albion Street today.

Unison branch secretary, Brian Smith, said;

"Neither the people of Glasgow nor public service workers caused this economic crisis and they should not have to pay to bail out irresponsible bankers”.

It was caused by the incompetent Labour Government at Westminister which failed to regulate the financial markets properly.

The embarrassment for Unison is how long it has taken them to stand up for the rights of ordinary workers.

Labour City treasurer Gordon Matheson said the council dealing with the first of many difficult years ahead trying to deal with the "twin problems of the worldwide recession and the Scottish Executive's decision to punish the people of Glasgow with the smallest grant increase in Scotland".

How typical of Matheson to show contempt for ordinary citizens by misleading them what the actual truth is.

Labour is responsible for financial mismanagement of Britain and Glasgow receives the most per head of population in Scotland from the SNP Government.

It is now time that the Unions in Scotland broke their links to the Labour Party and stopped giving the money.

That support has been used to keep the people down.

Glasgow’s shame is the Labour Party; it is time the Unions faced up to their responsibilities if they are to have any relevance in Scottish society.

Yours sincerely
