I`ve had a grievance in for over a year and its really going round in circles, managers and the union dont seem interested in getting this resolved!
Basically i picked a full time duty 5 years ago after a major revision in our office, never been put on the duty and am still on a 30 hour contract. Should i be full time and should i be on the duty i picked as i was high enough in seniority to pick it? The one brief conversation i had with my manage he told me all the part timers where told pre re pick that if they had enough seniority to pick a full time duty they wouldn`t get the hours! I`ve asked manager ater manager for paper work reguarding my grievance being dealt with but they can`t provide me with any because they haven`t any.
The area rep and local rep really aren`t interested in helping so any advice would be much appriciated!

Contact Bob Gibson's office and get advice from there if your local/area Reps aren't interested.

Re: Grievance one year on
If vacancies were displayed and you were senior enough to get one without displacing a full timer then the duty is yours. Seniority rules. Ring your branch secretary with name of rep and area rep and get him/her to ask why you have been left hanging.

Re: Grievance one year on
That's an interesting read,is picking a duty in the revision 5 years ago the same as an internal application for a duty, not to clued up on the wording of that agreement

Re: Grievance one year on
it is now 18 months since I submitted my grievance against my manager. I'm hopeful it will be resolved soon after stalling several times. The whole process is a sham.

Yeah it's that too plus a few other stronger words I can think of. Regarding timescale, according to my rep its 28 days.Shambles wrote:Sergeant Blast wrote:it is now 18 months since I submitted my grievance against my manager.

Re: Grievance one year on
No grievance is ongoing due to the fact that you are NOT in the duty and until such time the grievance runs!
