Invite to attend a meeting @ Depot...

Post by derek watson »

Can RM force you to attend a meeting @ a RM Depot,whilst l'm on Sick Leave until 26/12/22. The main reason for my sickness is Work Related Stress (line manager) & l have refused to cross the threshold of the depot ,but l've had a couple of meetings "off-site" whilst being off sick.

Have you got a union rep? can you get advice but long and short is they could stop your pay if you don't attend you could ask that the person who caused you the stress not be there but no guarantees on that. Hope you can resolve it and this is not easily done I know all the best!

Not being nasty but not being in union has'nt been much good to you..my only advice is contact citizens advice see if they can help good luck.

He can ask that the person not be there that caused his stress but in all probability they will be so not turning up will be cut off of pay. If he does go in they will say move to a different section/office which may cause more stress thing is non of this will resolve the root cause of the problem!

Continue having the meetings off site, you do not have to have it at your place of work.

You can, but depending on the rep they cannot, unless they do so voluntarily in a personal capacity, take on a members issue if it happened before they became a member.

So,me reps will help, others may not, it is a personal choice as it goes against the Unions rules.

You have remained in contact and continue to do so ,that is all thats required.
Just carry on Face 2 Face meetings off site / home wherever you feel comfortable.

Check out ,Breath-work ,really helps for stress.
All the best
