Anyone who tries to introduce a union is suddenly disciplined then you never see them again...they go through all your records and calls when they find a fault then instant dismissal!! The old staff there from approx 6 yrs had to sign their contract to say they would not join. This does not happen now but it is not allowed and is frowned upon if mentioned.

Are Bradford points a fair way of monitoring attendance and are they legal to use? As far as I was aware they were being phased out, colleagues are coming into work with flu and other contagious ailments cos they are worried about their points level.Last year we had a flu epedemic at work and the bosses were handing out tissues and lemsip rather than send ill people home. Does anyone have any advice on this..another point no Trade unions are allowed in this workplace...pathetic!!:twisted:

Hi have posted this previously regarding Bryan Carter Solicitors and apologise for interupting someone else's thread..did not know at the time.So have posted again as below. Hi regarding Bryan Carter Solicitors, I had an outstanding debt after being made redundant in 2006. It was for a car loan with Cooperative Bank for £3.000 and I only had £640.00 left to pay. This went through county court who ordered I pay £210.00 through a bayliff,this only has £30.00 remaining to pay this month. Suddenly yesterday I got a letter from Bryan Carter saying they wanted me to pay the remaining £430.00 or they will be instructing bayliffs and taking back to court!! Surely you can not go to court twice for the same debt? Or that's what I would have thought. Out of panic I did call their office and a snooty woman informed me that they only took me to court last time for part of the debt. I asked for a copy of the previous court referal letter as I never saw the original as it went to my old address. She advised they would not have copies after all these years. Can anyone advise me on this as I don't understand and a bit confused. Thanks
