In joint cases, we take a case and we know that the scales are the same for each one. The reason is the same for all of them. So we go to court and the decision rendered will be applicable to everyone since it becomes case law for the others. It will automatically apply to everyone because even the commission decides that all those persons may be represented at the same time because the parameters are the same. If 30 or more workers are represented by lawyers, the decision rendered will be applicable to everyone. Obviously, if the decision has been appealed, that applies to all those people.
