Bullying Leads to Grievance, Sick Leave, Threats of Termination

by Lynn Nunn
(Milton Keynes, UK)

Have worked for the organisation for 2 years and suffered from bullying. The perpetrator has formed a clique with the other members of the team to exclude me and talk about me behind my back.

My grievance has taken 14 weeks for the outcome to be advised that none of my allegations have been upheld and although I was initially offered a compromise agreement I am now being threatened with termination.

Have been off sick for the duration and received no support from the company at all, no contact has been made by my manager, no referral to the OHS, etc, etc, etc. At my whit's end, help.

Have you contacted an attorney? If you have a grievance, I assume this is Union? Can they just terminate you if you are Union in the UK? They can't over here.

If you are Unionized, have you talked with them about what else you can do?

Hopefully this helps a little. I'm in the same boat right now, but they can't fire me and it's ticking them off. I've contacted our Equal Employment Opportunity Commission. They've said they will give me a right to sue letter.

Grievance
by: Anonymous

Good luck... I started out wanting to follow my grievance all the way. Like yours it took a long time to make a decision... more than 7 months and it still remains unresolved. Of course the university wont admit to any of the claims as they will set a precedent and open themselves to litigation. I have been advised that if I pursue legal action it is likely they will spend hundreds of thousands fighting it to drag it out... not something I can even think of affording. Is it any wonder people take their own lives over this... or consider buying a shotgun and getting all these bastards that just flaunt the rules!!!
