Help Needed! Are you a union Rep and available locally tomorrow night 7pm?


Recommended Posts

My friend is in desperate need of union representation tomorrow evening 7pm at a local establishment. She is not a member but is prepared to join as will other colleagues who have been unfairly treated. The establishment have made serious allegations and have not followed ACAS guidelines.


It would be appreciated if you could only comment on this thread if you are able to help of offer advice.


Thanks in advance.

You may be able to delay the meeting until you have a union rep available.


This is the ACAS helpline. They're open at 8am - give them a call and find out for certain where you stand and what you need to do.

Thanks for your help but we have already been down that route. There are only a few days to appeal a decision and the person in question is trying to delay the meeting to try and see that he appeal deadline is missed.
PM me - I may be able to help but wont know until I know more. Churlish to say but trade unions are members' organisations negotiating collectively whilst supporting the individual. Not some evil empire. Anyway PM me if you don'd mind and the least I can do if offer an opinion - clearly in private
Union membership is not for just when you're in trouble! If this 'friend' of yours was an existing member she would have access to a rep. To avoid being used, there is a qualifying period before representation can take place, and existing issues will not be dealt with to avoid the 'join when in trouble, leave when not' crappy member that no one wants.
I'm well aware of that Grok as I am a union member myself. The 'friend' is a young person in their first casual job and does not have the experience of how rotten life can be when someone tries to exploit them. I'm sure after this, they will see the benefit in joining a union.

    • Absolutely agree , the pool is in a disgusting state at the moment. I’ve also noticed how dirty it’s been lately, especially around the edges and in the changing rooms. It’s honestly at the point where it feels unhygienic, and I wouldn’t be surprised if people got sick from swimming in it. You’ve done the right thing by reporting it  hopefully if more of us raise concerns , they’ll take it seriously. Happy to add my voice to any formal complaint or petition if that helps. Thanks for speaking up — you’re definitely not alone!  
    • Let's see if we can get a key so the notice board can actually be updated by someone who cares and has time (thank you Jellybeanz, if you want to do that, and if Sue can get a key), or we can have a group of key holders and content managers. It's not hard is it. There's not really any point having one if it doesn't have information
    • I  got a take away yesterday evening.  I stupidly ordered a side as well as  a bowl.  I have a hefty appetite but I had leftovers for breakfast and still some for lunch-and delicious.
    • I find that very confusing to read, because you have not separated what I said in my previous post from your reply in a way that makes it easy to see who said what. It also makes it very hard to respond to what you have said without confusing things even further! Is there any reason why you didn't just use the quote option as usual?
