    I wonder how much people would be content to pay for such a service?

    I've no idea what they would be CONTENT to pay.

    From memory, about £450 per meeting is what they charge.......

    If you had a grievance in progress, any disciplinary hearing pending should have been suspended until the grievance process had been concluded.

    Are you confusing grievance with appeal?

    no its a grievance appeal as HR messed everything up.

    all the evidence was given to them but they did nothing about it.

    Given you've already parted company, what do you hope to achieve at this point with the grievance?

    I assume the grievance was prosecuted while still employed?

    Most (all?) TUs won't take on an issue that occurred before you joined, in the same way you can't buy insurance for an event that has all ready happened.

    What industry do you work in? However, most (all?) TUs won't take on an issue that occurred before you joined, in the same way you can't buy insurance for an event that has all ready happened.

    Nonsense; most trades unions will take loads of cases, even, in many circumstances, if you are not a memeber and have no intention of joining, it very much depends on what the details of the case are.
    The greater danger, for most of us, lies not in setting our aim too high and falling short; but in setting our aim too low and achieving our mark

    Are you sure we don't work for the same organsiation...or are HR departments universally poor?

    i just dont like scabs. Always the same- they resent paying for a union membership and then expect help when something goes wrong.


    I think you have misunderstood the use of the word scab. A scab is the drerogatory term for a union person who crosses the picket line and goes into work ignoring the strike action, it does not refer to a non-union person. A scab is also the dried blood crust that covers wounds such as cuts and grazes.

    OP, I would be inclined to offer the union 3 months subs in advance and ask for them to be backdated. It might sound a bit of a strange way of going about things but it was something that I accepted when I was a branch secretary and that way the new member was covered when they needed assistance for disiplinaries and grievances.
