Edinburgh - New Contracts
A number of readers have been in touch because Edinburgh City Council is about to issue new contracts of employment - presumably on the back of its long awaited job evaluation (JE) scheme.
Council managers have been doing the rounds telling staff that they have to sign the new contracts - or else.
But we've been here before with other councils - and there's nothing to get over excited about.
Remember the council and the trade unions have only been at this malarkey for the past 10 years - so nothing is going to happen overnight.
The key points are:
Stefan Cross Solicitors
Buddle House
Buddle Road
Newcastle-upon-Tyne
NE4 8AW
Meantime sit tight and don't agree to anything - there's no need to at this stage - Stefan Cross will write to people having assessed exactly what the council has to say.

The key points are:
- Don't panic - and don't sign anything without getting proper advice
- And, no you won't get the sack - you won't lose your job - so don't worry
