Falkirk Council
A Case Management Discussion (CMD) on the Falkirk cases is taking place at the Glasgow Employment Tribunal next Thursday - 18 September 2008.
The council lost an earlier Pre-Hearing Review - the tribunal agreeing with our view that all home care workers had been graded under the old Green Book and the former manual workers job evaluation scheme.
The council's argument that a previous reorganisation of the service had muddied the waters over people's grades - was firmly rejected by the tribunal.
So, the road is now clear for these cases to proceed to a GMF hearing - and that's what we'll be pushing for next week.
Anyone who is a party to the Falkirk claims is entitled to attend the hearing in Glasgow - which is scheduled to get underway around 10am.
