Please support the following epetition entitled “Diabetes, employment and prolonged period of time off due to illness” by signing the epetition http://epetitions.direct.gov.uk/petitions/21871

Please help to get 100,000 signatures so that this epetition can be debated in Parliament, by doing some or all of the following:

* Ask friends and family to sign this epetition.
* Tweet followers to sign and Facebook friends to sign.
* Email or text friends and family to sign.
* Post on other forums.
* Contact local Diabetes groups for their members to sign.

This will help to get the UK Government to re-examine discrimination laws that allowed an employer to fire a Diabetic because Diabetes will result in prolonged periods of time off due to illness, despite the Diabetic only having two days absence in two years.

Your help is greatly appreciated.

Thank you.
 
Forgot to add that this case has been in front of the Employment Tribunal, Employment Appeal Tribunal, higher UK Courts and the European Court of Human Rights, and none of these Tribunal/Courts found any discrimination when it is stated that Diabetes could result in a prolonged period of time off due to illness.
