Hi Paul,

You highlight the text of the link and then click on the [url] button in the bit above the text box.

I've made those links active for you and am posting to bump this back up.

Regards,

Andy I think we need a chat, I bet they are falling over backwards now. :) I have been trying to find someone else with type 1 but the AA have kept it away from me.

HI Paul


A chat sounds good, looks like contact info is taken away I could try short dial as that would be no use to anyone? Andy

Just an update one year on. I am still working for the AA but 3 months after my successful court case the manager that I sued was not only not even disciplined he was indeed promoted to area manager of my team, I was even moved out of my team to make way for him. Sounds like I am making this up I know but it is fact....This is the AA

People who become victim of this discrimination are mostly involved in such kinds of activities that led to crime and, if we are talking about the law, then every person who is involved in crime (directly or indirectly) should be punished as applied.

Does that appliy to the solicitors concerned? :lol:

Paul

Victimisation for exercising your rights under the Equality Act is also something that you can take to an Emplyment Tribunal. For any Tribunal the lack of disciplinary action against a discriminatory manager would act for you as it is evidence that they are not taking equality seriously. That you had to be moved to favour the discriminator sounds like victimisation to me. Watch the time limits though.
