Well, where do I start, I have gotten involved with the union as it was recommended. However, from the very start, my representative was mystical and did not fully explain the information to me about policies within the workplace, or about the management/ HR not doing their jobs correctly. Never, mind them discriminating against me due to my disability and not following my reasonable adjustments. From there I was continuously asking for advice from my REP, who would only give me advice through a call and not through email, trying to be as avoidant as possible. First, I felt like WOW, what is the point of this, and why are they doing this to me. Next, They then advised me to call in sick continuously for 2 months, which fully angered the hell out of me, as I was like, what the point of calling in sick, I am well to work but use is allowing my workplace to fully bully me over email, not give me my payslips, or they are not paying my full salary as requested, and as I have advised my rep this numerous amount of times, They continued on, that there is nothing I was able to do, they had no idea and still were no help toward myself. From there I had a return-to-work meeting, which required me to discuss this with my line manager. However, had both HR discriminated against me due to my disability and the head of technology bullied me due to my disadvantages in life, and not following my reasonable adjustments. The rep did nothing but allow this to happen. The Head of Technology was never meant to be there, yet, they still allowed them to be there, seems to me that all my human rights were taken out of the window. What I recommend, is that you do not waste your money on a unison, speak with Acas as they would be your best bet, and never speak with the Rep from the union as they will share all of the information with HR allowing them to bully people and discriminate people. Most of the people who are working at the union are pensioners, who have nothing better to do, but allow people to be bullied and discriminated against due to their disability.
