Possible tribunal cock up?

[gmail]

Hi guys,
Could someone give me advice regarding the tribunal process and if there has been a major cock up, and if so what should i do.

My unhelpfull union has decided to speak to a solicitor (nearly 6 months later) and have submitted an ET1 form on my behalf. I had no knowledge of this going to happen as the unions last stance was they would not legally help me.
A big problem was i have never met the solicitor, the union guy who spoke with the solicitor doesnt understand the full extent of the problems and the copy of the et1 form i have recieved has loads of mistakes on it. There was an attached statement which has loads missing out and lots of errors with what is there.
I am still going through the grievance process and am about to have the final stage meet so that process has not been exhausted yet.
Is this a big major cock up?
I spoke with the union guy and he that it didn't matter about the mistakes, all that mattered is that the et1 form was in to protect timescales.

I have a link to the government employment tribunals home page. Have a thorough look and see what happens when there is mistakes and how to make amendments

Hi
Your union is correct in that the ET claim has to be submitted now so as not to be time barred from bringing an action.

The claim form detail can be amended at a later time too so long as the major points of your greivance are covered.

I have to say, it is quite refreshing to see a union act in the proper manner for a change as they are usually useless. Only my opinion of course!

I am afraid I have to concur with your opinion regarding union being useless my one is a wast of space and my money.
