It is unfortunate that unions are taking our money to traumatize us. My union, GMB rep followed me to a grievance meeting, he was pleading with my employer to make things right. He did not advise me that my employer should send me the outcome of the grievance. I later decided to make a claim against my emplyer, I was told that they have not done anything wrong by my union rep but I should send all my documents. I sent all my documents and did not hear from them, I called the rep he said he had not hear from the solicitor that I had to wait and I had 2 days less than 3 months to submit my claim to the tribunal. I decided to fill the claim form by myself. They sent me the solicitor response almost 2 months after my submission and was advised not to follow the claim. CAB advised me that I should change the claim because my employer might sue me for the claim I made. We went for case discussion meeting, fortunately the judge accepted my original claim. Trade Unions are as bad as some terrible employers.
