Edinburgh Male Claimants

Contrary to what was said in my recent post about male claimants - a dispute has arisen with Edinburgh City Council about the claims submitted by male janitors.

The council is now taking the view that these posts are not covered by the recent settlement - because in the council's eyes they are classified as former APT&C posts - not former Manual Worker posts.

Now this is a moot and very contentious point - because for many years Edinburgh's  janitors were very clearly classified as former Manual Worker posts.

At the moment the council is digging its heels in - but discussions are continuing in the hope of finding a resolution.

If the issue is not resolved - then the janitors claims will be joined to the Court of Session hearing which is due to take place from 14 to 17 June 2011.

One regular reader suggests raising the matter on the floor of the Scottish Parliament which is a good idea, but requires an MSP who's prepared to put down a written question for Scottish Ministers to answer. So here's a list of activities which will help shine a light on what has been going on because as Lord Nolan once said apropos driving up standards in public life - 'daylight is the best disinfectant'.
