Direct and Care (Cordia)
Lots of calls this week from staff in Glasgow's Direct and Care - see post dated 2 February 2009.
Everyone's asking the same question - does this apply to cleaning and catering staff as well as carers?
The answer is YES, definitely.
If the transfer to Cordia goes ahead as planned - all Direct and Care employees (including cleaning and catering staff) will have up to 6 months to protect their interests - but why wait?
After 6 months, any claims sent to the Employment Tribunals will be out of time.
So, better to be safe than sorry - and anyone who's likely to transfer would be mad not to protect their interests at this stage.
If you need further advice call Action 4 Equality Scotland on 0845 300 3 800 - or drop Mark Irvine an e-mail at: markirvine@compuserve.com
