AWR rights

Post by maali5 »

I have been working from February at a mail centre but unfortunately they "sacked" me. When asked about the reasons they said "...constantly falls below the required standard.".

Quite strange as I always had been the best worker. Do I have any right for "unfair dismissal"

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.

unfortunately the answer is No. For an unfair dismissal claim,which is what you would claim under, you have to be employed for a minimum of 1 year. http://www.access-legal.co.uk/legal-new ... u-4025.htm" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

However, we aren't experts so a quick visit to Citizens Advice might help.
