In common with other respondents I was threatend with complete withdrawal of all unison 'services' if I tried to access the much promoted legal support advertised by unison. I fought my case myself eventually winning a Employment Tribunal case (with the support of ACAS who were fantastic) & awarded compenation. I complained to the Advertising Standards Authority re unison's tv advert promoting their legal services, unison now have to give guidance to their terms & conditions in their adverts (they use tiny print for this warning of course). Others sectors are 'outed' & dealt with, MPs, errant police officers, charities, businesses, etc but not the unions why is this? Are the authorities too 'frit' - even Thatcher failed to ensure the unions were forced to be transparent, honest & demonstrate integrity in all their dealings. Based on my experiences with unison I would urge public sector workers to invest in private legal protection for employment issues.

One friend who was severely let down in 2004 went on to develope very serious mental illness and will probably never work again. She is only 42.

]]> Fri, 7 Mar 2008 09:33:05 UTC 3200841 Mr Jeremy Bushell [Signature #14] https://gopetition.com/signature/locate/3199049?utm_medium=rss As a Unison member retired due to PTSD arising from workplace bullying, I am aware that trade unions often fail in this area even when trying to support their members, but often one case is "traded" against another concession from the employer & the individual case is not justly handled.

]]> Fri, 7 Mar 2008 05:13:56 UTC 3199049 Michael Potter [Signature #13] https://gopetition.com/signature/locate/3195584?utm_medium=rss Since grievance procedures are rooted in the same power structure that workplace bullies misuse, forcing victims back into that process leaves them no recourse. Unions need to recognize that no part of an organization that allows bullying is trustworthy for obtaining justice. Claimants need legal protection.

]]> Thu, 6 Mar 2008 08:37:22 UTC 3195584 Mr Denny Tait [Signature #12] https://gopetition.com/signature/locate/3189513?utm_medium=rss It is entirely unacceptable that large or small companies can conduct meetings and investigations behind closed doors where the only representation the complainant may have is a union representative who is an employee of that company. This allows he company to "dictate" what is recorded or accepted as having been said at those meetings and to manage the subsequent "investigation" to suit their own purpose and agenda.

Legal assistance or support is far too hard to access.

The Complaint handling procedures are designed not to work so fighting it is considered a waste of time. Unions use alot of excuses.

There seems to be nobody in Government with a moral compass.

]]> Wed, 5 Mar 2008 08:50:50 UTC 3178938 Mr Martin Morton [Signature #9] https://gopetition.com/signature/locate/3177422?utm_medium=rss Unison Members contributions should be prioritised for their support and protection and NOT the political levy for the Labour Party.
Unison reps should enable their members to access legal advice to fight workplace bullying and NOT collude with employers HR Departments or do"deals" which are not in the members best interest and sustains a bullying culture.
Moreover there should be an external body which adjudicates members complaints.Unions are self-regulatory, unaccountable and arrogant.

]]> Wed, 5 Mar 2008 05:40:50 UTC 3177369 Mrs Ann Whaley [Signature #7] https://gopetition.com/signature/locate/3118715?utm_medium=rss UNISON are continually letting their members down and blaming funds. Yet, they misuse such funds for activities not agreed by their members. I know of quite a few people great;y let down by UNISON and who have lost their health, career and job through negligence or an non-supportive attitude of UNISON representatives. Some of these people may never be able to work again. This ROT has got to stop.

]]> Wed, 27 Feb 2008 02:43:02 UTC 3118715 Mrs Joan Mallon [Signature #6] https://gopetition.com/signature/locate/3117801?utm_medium=rss They are misrepresenting the clients who need their services, and need to be more accountable as to how their funding is used.
Bullying in the workplace should be acknowledged a prevalent and they should act accordingly

Those who receive money from trades unions should send it back. It does not belong to the officials or the cliques; it was not given to them for that purpose. There are so many complaints to make about trades unions that I have had to write them down to remember them all: http://www.employees.org.uk/wishlist.html

I have ended up funding my own case.
Very much like the no win no fee solicitors if you dont have 51% chance of sucess they will not fight for you.

]]> Wed, 27 Feb 2008 08:13:33 UTC 3115838 Mr Alan Girvan [Signature #2] https://gopetition.com/signature/locate/3115750?utm_medium=rss Too much time spent playing politics instead of sticking up for workers, they give Labour money and Labour give it back to them through Trade Union Modernisation Fund..just a scam.
