Its in the little handbook we got a few months back about RM code of conduct.
That this wrong & shouldnt happen, given as an example of bad management.
But moaning on here or wanting others to do something wont change anything.
Its up to you if you feel so strongly & you have been given a idea already which doesnt involve you going to your manager directly.

im not moaning on here,i and others have had countless meetings with managers and unions about this situation,we have had petitions and they were basicly disposed of,i will be contacting moya with other colleagues as to resolve this matter

I always thought it was a no no having a husband and wife in the same office, especially in the roles described.

You could even try a "petition". One of you could write a letter outlining the issue(s), how you've already tried to get it resolved, be polite, use formal language, and offer your colleagues the chance to sign it. Run it past your colleagues first, keep it under the radar, if enough do agree and sign it, it would be a lot harder for any comeback to hit one person, but you need to trust your workmates, and need to stick together. Good luck with whatever you decide to do.
