Unfair dismissal?

Got a question for a CWU Rep? And all CWU related matters.

Exactly what where you dismissed for OP?
Just an update to let you all know that the case is being heard on Monday morning, i could not get a solicitor so i will be representing myself :funneh :funneh Out of curiosity does anyone know if the is a set timescale set between RM and CWU for dealing with a dismissal appeal? (For example 9 weeks etc?)

PS. I recieved a phone call telling me that RM are going to try and bill me for their costs which could be anything upto £10,000 - typical scare tactics but i wont let it bother me.

:sad: Get that in at the tribunal--R/M making intimidating phone calls. This is out of order.Yes, you could be advised in writng that you may be resposible for costs if you lose--but no way should they be phoning you.
Very good luck.

If you were taking the p*** and/ or the claim was deemed to be vexatious & frivolous ( i.e . your motives for bringing such a claim were dodgy ) , that would have been decided by the tribunal in a preliminary hearing & you'd have then been well advised by the panel & ACAS not to take things any further , not by that arrogant organization .

Get that reported , a adverse inference can be drawn there , very underhand - bordering on / actual harassment & intimidation of key witnesses - w**kers ! - hoping you'll buckle but it comes as no surprise :no no :no no .

It's " interesting " that RM did not put that in writing :hmmmm - make sure you've logged it , 1471-d it etc . According to the link , RM could be punished for such tactics :hmmmm
