Re: Discrimination

Hi Paul

Yes I do as a patrol, and have been performance managed and have been offered the "deal" things seem to be changing though,
 
Re: Discrimination

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.
 
Re: Discrimination

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
 
Re: Discrimination

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
 
Re: Discrimination

Does that appliy to the solicitors concerned? :lol:

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.

Re: Discrimination

Hi Osidge, I did think about doing this but in the end decided to just let it go. I made my feelings clear to higher management and could tell they were on the back foot once again.
I am soon to become the equality officer for the GMB aa section so I'm sure I will be crossing swords again soon. Equality and diversity are not the aa's strongpoint but to be fair they have been very good to me over the last couple of years so I hold no grudges personally.
 
Re: Discrimination

I've never met anyone from Alcoholics Anonymous. I've always thought them secretive.
 
That's a comprehensive collection of cases Paul. Thank you.
