Media Alert: Slater & gordon Investigates Class Action over Scientology Wages Claim

[RogerB]

I spoke with Slater & Gordon yesterday and they are ready to go.

So all who want to be part of the class action please make contact by phoning
02 82670626 (for international callers place 0011 61 in front of number) for staff and SO members who have worked in Australian Orgs including Scios front groups.

If you have concerns about privacy or fear the of CoS retaliation by fair gaming and disconnection this is understood by Slater & Gordon, they are well aware of the CoS practices, and all information remains confidential.

The 'statutes of limitations' are currently being look at to see if we can extend the years so please do not use this as a reason not to contact Slater & Gordon. Nothing is certain on this but we do need to stay positive and prepare to put an argument forward and it's requiring more work.

Also just a note: the Fair Work Ombudsman findings were not important to Slater & Gordon moving forward on the class action, this firm had already completed an extensive investigation into the CoS employment practices and came to the conclusion that it was in breach. The firm did not wait to see what FWO findings were before advertising the class action.

If you have any questions please PM me.

Just thinking her Happy Days . . .and aloud again . . . .

On the issue of statutes of limitation . . . might be worth asking S&G if there are grounds for claiming extenuating circumstances for the limit to be extended on the basis of known threats of retaliation, duress on victims due to the known practice if the cult's "Fair Gaming" and retaliation against defectors and dissidents, etc.

This fact of behaviour of the cult, being a continuing practice of it against its employees and former employees which thus impedes acting to file suit, might under Oz law give grounds for claiming and being awarded extensions of time for filing complaints.

And yes, this could open up a whole new can of worms in our favour


Note: I've honoured you all downnunda with some correct spelling.

Certainly RogerB we have briefed S&G on the CoS unscrupulous behaviour and the impact it has on claimants and I believe this will be the major point in getting extensions.

However, claimants need to come forward as sitting on the sidelines and waiting will not get results so I encourage all Australian current staff, SO members and ex Staff and SO members to come forward including front groups staff members.

I say current staff and SO members cause we know a few read this board and you too can get involved so come on Australia

Call Slater & Gordon on (02) 8267 0626 (0011 61 02 for overseas callers).
