South Lanarkshire Meetings

Preparations are well underway for a series of vital equal pay hearings involving South Lanarkshire Council.

A Pre-Hearing Review (PHR) gets underway on 29 September to test the validity of the council’s job evaluation scheme (JES).

Two meetings are being held next week to identify possible witnesses - who might be called upon to give evidence about their experience of the council’s JES.

We are asking a selection of clients from South Lanarkshire to help with this task. We don’t need to see or speak to all 2,000 claimants, but anyone who would like to come along is welcome.

You can choose a time (between 2pm – 5pm) and venue to suit yourself and the meetings are being held in East Kilbride and Rutherglen:

Monday 24 August 2009 - between 2pm and 5pm
Torrance Hotel

135 Main Street
The Village
East Kilbride
G74 4LN

Wednesday 26 August 2009 - between 2pm and 5pm
Kings Park Hotel
Mill Street
Rutherglen
Glasgow
G73 2LX

We are interested in learning more about how traditional male jobs– refuse workers, road workers, gardeners and so on - were treated by the council during Single Status.

If you know of anyone – a friend, relative or neighbour - who works in one of these jobs, or who retired from such a job in the past few years - this information could be very useful.
