Hi,
For anyone who can/wants to make it along to the next leg of the tribunal re victimisation of Penny on grounds of TU activities, it’s starting off again on Monday 26 October at 54 Melville St, at the West end of Edinburgh (5 mins walk from Haymarket).
Unfortunately, Mon pm will be mobbed, with no seats going spare. However, if you want to hear the senior manager who blocked Penny’s safety inspection (even though she couldn’t teach her classes at Saughton), he will be giving evidence Mon am and you would get a seat then. Tues is again booked solid with TU reps (coming from the Borders, Tayside and the West). However, there should be an opportunity to hear the Principal who summarily dismissed Penny for carrying out a H&S inspection at Carnegie College, on Friday am 30th October.
As the public seating has been full almost throughout, the judge is asking that people are seated before 10.00 and stay seated till a break, in order not to distract the witness (and the room is small). Please do your best in this, as there is no point in irritating the judge. Lunch time (when folk can make their escape) can start any time from 12.15 to 1.00 and lasts for an hour. If you can make it for Fri Pm, please text Penny’s mobile and she will make sure you know what time the pm session kicks off. It will definitely finish by 4 pm at the latest.
Yours fraternally
Alan Ferguson
EIS FELA President
