Although I can manage to give you credit for your almost partisan view as a useful tool for employers, I have to agree, you are not an expert in employment law. You have missed some very glaring procedural irregularities and breaches of EU law. What I have experienced is not acceptable in any civil society and if it is allowed then I have to believe that there is no justice Britain. I'm sure you know this so you must be partisan. I must have the right to redress in a Crown court ,if my human rights have been infringed upon and they have. No company may discriminately apply their policy. I have proof that they did and do behave like this. I also have some very damning video evidence of severe corruption at my work. All I did wrong was to get a brain tumour. Employment tribunal is nonesense. Time contraints etc. What a farce. Go to the proper courts and appeal up to the highest authority as necessary.

Initially my GP referred me to the endocrinologists who still see me every 3 months to assess my progress. I will see my GP again next week where he will assess my pain levels etc and probably book me off for a further 4 weeks. My Endocrinologist has requested that I receive some support with a counsellor because of the negative impact on my mental health.

I'm not at all bothered by your questions and thank you for any help or advice you might have for me. They offered me a months pay if I resign now. The HR manager said that they are going to look at medically dismissing me because I cannot fulfill my duties as contracted. Nothing in writing as yet. They have requested me to allow access to my medical records. The next step will be a medical assessment and dismissal I am sure.

I have no income and can't afford the subs so my membership lapsed. Besides, the union reps don't seem much use. When I went back to work I rejoined the union but it lapsed again last month-no income. GMB union.

The company is XXXXX. My initial grievance was dealt with formally but relaxed by the Plant Manager and I agreed that we would hold a meeting with my collegues to try and get them to see sense. I was very amiable about it all because I trusted them then. They didn't see sense and I am a complete idiot in their eyes. The second grievance has not been dealt with at all. The HR manager offered me money to leave twice now. I also recorded most conversations and the disciplinary enquiry because I do not trust these evil people. They also have not looked into the allegations I have made about others selling goods at work where even managers have bought stuff etc. Definitely a stitch up this but I am weak and vulnerable.

June 2008 I started with a billion Euro multi national. I found I was physically and mentally weakening and took a lot of sick leave. Work sent me to Occupational Docs and I explained myself and was examined. I continued to become more ill. Eventually, on the verge of suicide etc. I begged my doctor to find out what was wrong with me. He took my blood on a hunch and discovered I had a brain tumour. MRI scan confirmed I had a macro Prolactinoma and it was massive but totally treatable over time. How long? I cannot get a definitive answer but it looks 3-5 years. A year on I had to return to work because I had no benefits etc and the first day back, I was ignored by my collegues and one actually accused me of taking the ****. I tried to explain myself but was just sworn at and shouted down. The entire staff seemed against me and I was immediately moved to another department and they weren't happy with my prescence either. I put in a grievance. Investigation took place and I stated that all I wanted was to be happy and be allowed to recuperate. Workmates weren't happy. Meanwhile, I make sausages as a hobby and used to give some to various people at work and also sold some at work-about £25 worth because people ordered them. I thought nothing of this as other collegues sell rabbits that they've shot, fish they have caught,chocolates and knock off clothing. 3 months from my grievance they charged me with gross misconduct and suspended me. This really set me back immensely. I was given a final written warning valid for 12 months but my health and well being really took a beating. Told the doc what had happened and he booked me off. My consultant also saw the change in me and said I had depression. I have put in another grievance against management for not dealing with my situation properly. Ignored and now they want to dismiss me on medical grounds. I am still in a lot of pain and I am still depressed over being a social outcast at work. Any ideas? They have requested my med records now but I am reluctant to give them my permission. By the way, had my condition been diagnosed when I first displayed symptoms, I would have probably been healed by now but because the docs hadn't detected it, the disease really caused mayhem in my body and mind. I can honestly say that I would have preferred to have been crushed and spent 10 months in hospital than this horrible disease. It has cost me dearly.
