[QUOTE="robotears, post: 1977360, member: 123183"] I’ve been really appreciating the responses here and have felt very supported by you all, so thank you. One thing that occurs to me is to pass on the little known fact that most mortgages will have an allowance for legal fees when it comes to employment disputes. I had no idea until I was told a while back by an employment law specialist to check my own policy paperwork when I was being harassed by a bullying supervisor. I didn’t pursue it in the end (as the supervisor was let go due to failing a d&a test) but that was the experience that put me in touch with ACAS who were very good and also the thing about not being able to join a union with a pre-existing issue - though I may have the wrong end of the stick with this as it was a very difficult time ☹️ But my overall position at this time (I’m awaiting the letter of invitation to the stage 2) is that I am going to prepare myself to ask for the compromise regards my diabetic appointments so that I don’t feel so pressured. If this isn’t discussed in a reasonable fashion then I shall certainly be looking at a DDA enquiry via ACAS again. None of us asked for this condition! None of us have brought it upon ourselves! So therefore surely it is unfair to be made to lose holiday time just to attend legitimate appointments (I always provide copies of the letters) as well as having to manage this all the time.
