any more advice?

I have just been through a very similar thing, i was /am in a union and i was off on suspension for 8 weeks ! after the 6 weeks i got a letter with a hearing date which was 14 of this month, i did get all there evidence against me around a week before the hearing to prepare my defence with my union rep (see other post facebook summary dismissal) i had to call every time i needed to know anything as they wouldnt have bothered to contact me, unfortunatley my hearing was so biased it wasnt worth turning up for and i received a summary dismissal.I will appeal my dismissal and go to tribunal if needed as i am innocent of the alleged accusations. i hope it goes well for you and i know exactly how your feeling at the minute, if your not in a union have you seen a solicitor? you will get 30 minutes free to have a chat and may even qualify for legal aid, also check your home insurance as you may be covered for legal business through your insurers.

there was also a precident set in the past where someone admitted posting something on facebook, they were off on suspension for 3 months and ended up with a written warning, dosent make sense why there is different outcomes to me.

there was a comment on some ones wall which was made to look like it came from my account with my picture and my name next to it it said the words mr xxxxx XXX ?? think you can imagine what the x's are and the question marks were also there

hi, i was sacked on the 14th of this month after a 2 month suspension period. i have until the 13th oct to file for a unfair dismissal tribunral but want to go to appeal first.

Hi, i have recently lost my job (summary dismissal) for an alleged posting on facebook which was interpreted as gross misconduct. I did not make the posting on facebook and was suspended for 2 months and now i have lost my hearing and am out of my job. At my hearing i produced print offs of my facebook account with no evidence of the alleged posting, the posting in question was on someone elses wall and i was supposed to have made a comment on it. the company has an electronic communications policy which states stuff like this shouldnt happen but i myself dont work in an office and through no fault of my own have never been shown the policy along with around another 100 co workers. There excuse was "its on notice boards" but during a recess in my hearing myself and my union rep looked on around 17 boards within the building and there wasnt a single policy on there,there excuse was that it may have been moved! Nothing i said in the hearing was considered or taken seriously and i would go as far to say if i had testemony from the queen i would have still been dismissed. Since this all started and i was on suspension they have been getting groups of people into meetings and made them sign for this illusive policy which i wasnt ever shown in my near 16 years unblemished employment. I now find myself without a job with the prospect of an appeal which they wont do in a hurry with bills to pay etc. How long would sound resonable for an appeal hearing to take place? The investigation took 8 weeks and they had same evidence as they had on the first day so im not going to hold my breath. thanks and any advice would be greatly received
