Falkirk Council - update
Falkirk's Pre-Hearing Review concluded on Wednesday 19 March 2008 (see post dated 13 March).
From our point of view everything went extremely well and all our witnesses gave an excellent account of themselves.
The council reorganised the home care service without carrying out a proper re-evaluation of people's jobs - nor did they treat any of the male groups of workers in the same fashion.
The council's says this was (and still is) perfectly fine - we completely disagree, and believe the council's treatment of the home carers was unfair and discriminatory.
The tribunal reserved its judgment - so we won't know the outcome for another couple of weeks or so - but as soon as we do, we will obviously let people know.
