Some of you may have guessed that I am the person being discriminated against. Sorry about the subterfuge but I felt I would get more response this way. I am a dept shop steward and health and safety rep.
My company has finally dismissed me under the pretence of Medical severance. It appears they are in the process of 'loosing' some staff and are prepared to go to any lengths to achieve their aims. I have a question if anyone can help. If I take them to an Employment Tribunal because they have denied me a transfer to another position in the company (which I am fully capable) can they fill that roll with other redundant/disabled workers before the tribunal is heard ?
I have been advised that there are no 'punitive' sanctions against a company that blatantly ignores employment law, can any one comment ?

We have a health and safety rep who was asked to trial a new job because of work reorganisation and his health issues. On his return on the first day of the trial he was asked to see his Forman. He raised some very serious safety issues concerning the new job upon which the Forman told him to go home and not return to work until contacted. The rep feels this amounts to a suspension and has asked for our reasons in writing. We are currently trying to get this man out on disability grounds which he does not agree. What are our options for dismissal ?

It has recently came to light that two foremen at work have been placing notes on employees personnel files with out permission and most of it is of a personal opinion and not baked up by facts. This seems to have had an impact on several peoples advancement within the company. The foremen have been told to go through all files and remove anything incriminating.
My question is :- can the employees demand a copy of anything removed for future reference ?
