North Lanarkshire Update



Readers in North Lanarkshire will be interested to learn that a further Employment Tribunal hearing has been scheduled to deal with the long-running dispute over the grading of Classroom Assistants, Clerical Workers and Sheltered Housing Wardens.

 The details of the hearing are as follows and, as before, individual claimants are entitled to attend:

 Date: Friday 22 January 2016

 Time: 10am 

 Venue: Glasgow Employment Tribunal, 215 Bothwell Street, Glasgow, G2 7TS

 Daphne Romney QC will be representing the interests of A4ES clients along with Sarah Gilzean from HBJ Gateley, so please make yourself known to Daphne and Sarah if you attend next week's hearing.

 More to follow soon.
