Chase them up. You need to know in plenty of time, in case you need to get someone else to represent you.

Did it say why they'd taken so long to tell you that?
Still, I suppose it's better late than never, eh?

Wow how surprising!
When will these lot represent their members???
All they are bothered about is your union fees and helping out people who have been out on strike for them, as it looks good in The Voice anything else,unfair dismissal,breaches of employment law,non compliance of the DDA etc they don't give a feck.

It depends on who your Reps are. Mine are currently fighting my disciplinary case. I can't go into details yet, as too many people at my place know who I am. But believe me. They've been fantastic!

It's just depressing, that there are so many other areas, where people are being let down so badly. If they can do it in my area, then why the f**k can't they do it everywhere!

I'll let you know how it turns out, when it finishes.

ive got my tribuneral on tuesday 3rd august. only option i have is to "go it alone" as solicitors were looking thousands for their services. just wandering if anyone else has gone to tribuneral and repesented themselves and had sucess from it, or am i doomed from the start ?? any pointers or things to keep in mind ??

[andy2007]

You could try PMing Wranglered. He handled his own case. Although he hasn't posted on here for quite a while, so I'm not sure if he'll get the PM.

Hi mo,
Good luck at your tribunal. If they have agreed to listen to your case, it means they believe you have a case--many people on here have went it alone and won their case--so keep the chin up. But go prepared, and list all the salient points you have mentioned, i.e the stage 1 which you believe shouldn't have been issued, from their ignoring their own Doctors reports etc.Let us know how you get on.

hi, the tribuneral hearing was today ajurned due to a witnesses family berevement, its been rescheduled for two weeks time :( just wandering if anyone had any policy documents/guidelines for managers on how they should handle cases in general ??

[mo927]

AHH WELL :-(

It's kind of hard to believe that you can win an ET...and still lose.

[POSTMAN]

But if he won wouldn't he of least get his job back?
