Liam raised a grievance at work which was refused. He was threatened with dismissal for causing mental distress unless he agreed to be redeployed. This video explains whether that can ever be justified.

Companies don't like employees being apart of unions trust me from experience

@hellalive8973 2 года назад

Having been both an employer and an employee dealing with unions - companies have very little to worry about with unions providing they are complying with employment law as they should be. In my experience unions are less than useless

@loc4725 2 года назад

@@ciaran134 Lower / entry level managers _sometimes_ take note but in my experience those that have 'made it' largely seem to see them as an inconvenience. For example, my mother was part of one of the NHS Unions and when it was discovered that one of the admin staff had been illegally skimming & embezzling wages *they did nothing* to recover the back pay. Same thing with routinely denying staff breaks on 12-13 hour shifts and allowing serious incidents to go without remedial attention. Not interested at all it seemed.

I worked in a call center once upon a time someone raised a grievance against me and they ended up getting suspended and sacked for making false accusations. I didn't even know of the complaint until the other person was sacked, i also didn't have a clue this person had an issue with me.

NHS! You will never ever win! Union or no union. Get out, don’t deal with it, it’s not worth it!

@loc4725 2 года назад

I had a pretty low opinion of Unions to start with, mainly after seeing the way my mother's NHS union kept in (my opinion catastrophically) failing her but after joining one (non-NHS) and needing help with a pay dispute my opinion is now pretty close to rock bottom. They're quick to take the money, very verbose about specific issues whey they can bang on about 'being here for you' but about as useful as a wet paper grocery bag when you have an issue, even if that issue is simple.

@Padraigp Год назад

I didnt even know they helped people with personal issues i thought they just did it like as a group thing for everyone to get pay not individuals. Are the nhs unions sort of sold out? I assume you can also form other unions apart from the official ones maybe? Maybe theyre corrupt in the unions as well.

@vanman266 2 года назад

@Mightypi 2 года назад

Short awnswer is to talk to your union. If its the union thats agreed with the policy (etc) then maybe time to think about a new one. IF its the local rep thats made the call, talk to them about it, if you have a genuine issue they might recall the Rep's possition and hold a rep election, get someone new in the roll. Good luck bud, While unions can seem to be unhelpful at times, they (normaly) do have the members best intrests at heart .

@kashmone9y99 2 года назад

I've worked as a rep. Sometimes you have to tell people that either that's how it works and we can try to change it but it requires support from other people or the colleague needs to raise it as a grievance because sometimes that might be a policy. However also like all forms of life you can have reps who don't or longer have the fight to change things and these can be voted out or asked to resign

@damiencogman 10 месяцев назад

Raising a grievance straight away probably isnt the way to go. Should do it informally firstly. Then after that if the problem doesnt get sorted then raise a grievance. But alot of the time there are too many chiefs in the workplace and no communication. The other problem is clicks and everything for some.

@Steven.Cartwright 7 месяцев назад

If a company don't think your worth anything or mean anything to them then i would just move on to the next job. I know its hard but its like begging them to keep your job when they dont want you there ? They will get KARMA trust me thats how life goes.

Unions take back handers of big companies

@Classicbeauty857 7 месяцев назад

HR will never take the employee’s side it’s their job to protect the company and any complaint you make you’re asking for trouble! Report it then seek legal advice.

@EdLife11 7 месяцев назад

I have represented myself and others at an Employment Tribunal before and in this case, I think they are trying to scare you. If your grievance was offensive, threatening or unprofessional, then the Tribunal will likely weigh the options of redeployment.

Who are the best union to go for

@tracer1127 Год назад

Something that always amazes me is that people want to continue to work for companies that they are unhappy working in. The guy has now had 2 grievances against 2 different managers. If everyone else is happy to work with these manager’s and doesn’t have issue’s then sometimes you are going to have to be honest with yourself and admit the issue is with yourself. If you don’t like the job or you can’t stand the way they operate leave. No one is holding a gun to your head, go and find a company that operates as you want it to.

@timhare9867 Год назад

Sometimes the issue isn’t with the company, but with specific people in it. I’m that case, why should one person put themselves and their family at a financial loss by leaving simply to appease another? It also comes down to what he specifically raised a grievance about, and whether it has anything to do with how his manager is behaving in the office. It’s down to a tribunal to determine whether that behaviour is appropriate, regardless of how many managers the employee may have had difficultly working with. Not the employer, and not the employee.

I've just had my career completely destroyed on the back of of a false allegation/grievance against me. I wasn't even given the chance to defend myself. Question, is it illegal to make a false allegation against someone at work?

@iffysd9864 Год назад

If you can prove its false and have more than two years

@kdlofty Год назад

@@iffysd9864 Yes I can prove it's false, unfortunately I don't have two years service. There's no evidence I've done anything wrong. Just a statement of how i allegedly made somebody feel. My witnesses were never interviewed, nor was I given a chance to defend myself. And they're telling other outlets near where I live that I'm barred due to "concerns over my behaviour" I've done absolutely nothing wrong other than help them. Surely this is now bordering on harassment? I need help. This is not right.
