It's good to get these types of threads, the ridiculous my manager said bollox, so we can reassure ourselves that while the world is falling apart, Royal Mail managers are still being the low-life C***S they have always been.

The daily grind of having to argue your case with an intellectual pigmy of a line manager is physically and emotionally draining.

As far as I understand the "no win, no fee" type of solicitor is not allowed in Northern Ireland by the Law Society in Belfast. Although our laws are the same as in the mainland for some reason we have not got this service yet.

Teebs, I think that refers to the free inital consultation and not the whole process.

The societies of consumption and squandering of material resources are incompatible with the idea of economic growth and a clean planet.

I could say something but I'd end up in the naughty room again (and I promised that I'd stay out of there for one whole day :wink: ).

:sad: Sharonbar-did you lose at the ET? And are you trying to appeal this decision? There are many voluntary groups around who would at least advise you, and if appropriate represent you. I do not want to dampen your hope, but when appeals are put into tribunals, they become public, and all those no win no fee brigade would be on the phone to you offering to represent you if they felt you have a strong enough case.
And of course you can always represent yourself--Good Luck.
