Stirling University facing legal action over job cuts

Employment law requires employers to consult in good time; to consult about ways of avoiding, reducing or mitigating job losses; and to consult in a meaningful way with a view to reaching agreement. If the Employment Tribunal agrees with 瓜神网, then it can order Stirling University pay a protective award of up to 90 days' pay for each affected employee.

瓜神网'S Scottish Official Mary Senior said: '瓜神网 is deeply disappointed at the University of Stirling's failure to engage in any form of meaningful and timely consultation over job cuts. 瓜神网 has been left with no alternative but to seek a legal remedy to this flagrant breach of employment law, and has lodged proceedings in a bid to protect our members at Stirling.'

The employment tribunal was lodged on Thursday (29 October).
