The GMB union has now gained over £1bn in compensation payments for gender-based wage discrimination in local councils & is not yet finished with the claims (another 10,000 look to be launched in 2026).
Its great news for the women gaining the compensation for under-payment & shows why unions (the collective organisation of labour) is necessary & also why our political class are not keen on supporting the revival of workers' right to organise.

The management suspicion of the four-day working week seems to go right to the top of British politics;
despite the evidence of productivity enhancements & welfare improvements for workers, Local Government Secretary Steve Reed has written to Council leaders telling them adoption of a four-day working week for staff wold be 'would be considered an indicator, among a wide range of factors, of potential failure'.
And this from a Labour Govt.!

Here is a fun library study to do on your trips to visit family... ask them if they know how to silence their phone? Follow up if it is not silenced and they want to deny the call do they let it continue to ring or actually reject the call?

Financial Services hypocrisy on show:
Financial commentators are telling the FT that because the fees paid to non-executive directors have lagged inflation (measured by CPI) by over 10% in the last 5 years, NEDs will no longer be willing to serve in this role in the UK.
These are the same commentators who complain & warn about workers in the rest of the economy trying to raise their wages for *exactly* the same reason!
This really is elite entitlement & hypocrisy!
