CHANGES TO GRIEVANCE, DISMISSAL & DISCIPLINARY PROCEDURES

[andy2007]

Is it true that that it it is now illegal for joe public to photograph any Vietnamese pot belly pigs now?

So, a policeman stops you & demands to search you based on no evidence whatsoever. You get out your mobile phone to video the policeman to ensure he does not abuse his authority or abuse you. Instantly you have now committed an offence! Even though you were innocent in the first place the policeman now can enforce this law, you are arrested & put in a cell, awaiting your sentence for a terrorist offence!

Great the Labour Party innit?

I remember tbeing so happy back in '97 too, how wrong we were....

And why do CWU still insist on supporting Labour...needs to stop..

What have Veitnamese Pot Belly Pigs got to do with videoing the Police?

in this current climate royal mail will take full advantage of this.they have already targetted the long term sick in our delivery office for petty reasons(leaving a tray for drinks on the frame for one) .were are heading down the slippery slope.

How can they target the long term sick if they are off?

apologies madelin 4 but persons who have been off a long time and are currentlly back at work.

As, in my experience, Royal Mail's methods of investigation are flawed, it will simply mean that they come to the wrong conclusion quicker! It will also save managers backing each other up in their lies, therefore less chance of tripping thenselves up.

process is corrupt

Does this affect the people who are off on long term sick at the moment??

[tommythreesheds]

I get the impression its from April only? Is this correct? I am on sick at the moment due to a post op problem. Worried as hell about what happens when i get back

[darth]

i would imagine that royal mail will want change but the cwu will want to keep it as it is after all this has been agreed.yet more turmoil possible.

Royal Mail must be rubbing their hands with glee.
They won't want to stick to the three stages system; they will be delighted with this new procedure!
It may save too many managers getting involved through the stages, but it means less chance of your case being considered properly.
This government, Labour in name only, seems hell-bent as a certain Tory dragon, to destroy employee rights.

correct ! - they've wanted RMAP fast tracked for a long time , with some professional skivvers and excessive political correctness , it takes 2 years for RM to get rid of them , BUT the wrong people will be hounded out as it's basically the ACAS agreement being torn up .

Usually as Teebs says , RM botch all the way through , and all the holes / conflictions , contradictions , more questions than answers etc can be contradicted and challenged , all RM can do now is slow time appeals to ground people down to stop staff making trouble for them at Industrial Tribunals .

New Labour with CBI pressure are trying to appear as business friendly as possible to try and keep the Tory majority down in the 2010 General Election . The best thing you can say is that you'll get Thatcherism Lite with Dave Snooty and his pals .

As someone once said " Will the last person leaving, please switch off the lights"!

As an employer you currently face financial penalties and claims of automatic unfair dismissal if your disciplinary procedure and dismissal procedures do not comply with the Statutory Dispute Procedures.

However, the Statutory Dispute Procedures are being repealed on April 6, 2009. From this date you should follow the new Acas Code of Practice.
