I seriously think you need to consider self employment.

Yet another disagreement with your employer - you'll need the union and a solicitor on speed-dial at this rate.

You could negotiate a 'retainer' and bulk discount.

Plus, you never seem to take on board anything we say anyway... so why ask us?

Think how the union rep feels - employer on one side, member from hell on the other.

If this goes the way of all the previous threads, the OP won't respond here but will start another thread in a couple of weeks.

Why do you think its wrong? Because it's not fair or because it's not legal?

I always thought that in contract law if an offer is made and that offer is accepted then a legal agreement is in effect

I thought the only way the contract could be void is if a unilateral mistake has been made whereby one party knew the other party had obviously got their figures wrong

You say member from hell but i do the job required of me, am never later, never have day off sick, never had any warnings in 25 years of employment - so there are definately worse employees than me

But how many man hours are taken up/ wasted dealing with all your complaints? However well you do your job, it does come across that you are a drain on resources.

Member from hell isn't the same as employee from hell.
