North Ayrshire
The long awaited GMF hearing for North Ayrshire Council has finally been set - for 10 full days from 10th to 14th (Week 1) and 17th to 21st (Week 2) November 2008.
The hearing will cover all Stefan Cross claims - i.e. both former manual workers and APT&C staff.
The other crucial issue is that the hearing will also require the council - for the first time - to explain and justify the big pay differences between traditional male and female jobs.
A lot of preparatory work for the GMF hearing is now underway - you may be contacted directly, if we require further information about particular individuals or groups of staff.
Any other developments will be reported here - as the date of the hearing approaches.
