Why has the union guy told you to NOT bother about putting in a grievance?

IF you do take it to a tribunal and you have not raised a grievance then any winning compensation could be lowered by 25% just for NOT putting in a grievance.
Royal Mail managers.....about as popular as a t.urd in a swimming pool!
The DDA/Equality Act demands action,NOT words......adjustments NOT Occupational Health referrals.Case No:2505901/09
Royal Mail is an Equal Opportunities Employer..It discriminates against everybody.

you'd be deemed to be a " troublemaker " or too " triggerhappy " - Ok , we know it's RM ( Another Planet ? ) but you have to be seen as being reasonable and having given RM a sporting chance to resolve matters .

That stinks , sitting on things might have worked years ago but NOT anymore with that style of management .

Sounds a good idea to me. What "charge" where they going to prosecute you with? this sounds like bullsh*t, from what you've said you havent mentioned any police involvement from Royal Mail. Dont cave in!

" ive also spoke to the solicotor an she says i will have a case " - that might count for someting if she's a solicitor specialising in employment law but not otherwise as I've known a friend's family solicitor unrealistically spin things out in the knowledge they're being paid for the 'advice' given. :sad:
