Trade Union Official...?


How do you go about finding a trade union official in your area to accompany you to a disciplinary meeting?? Do you know if they charge?

Well, you would normally find one through your union. You should find contact details in any literature that they have sent to you, or that may be displayed around your workplace. If you're not in a union, then there is not really much point you having one accompany you. The point of a union is to stick up for the rights of its members, so if you're not a member, they may not be much help.

If you're not in a union, I would ask your employer if you can bring along a representative who is not a union official to the meeting. They don't have to allow you to, but most will allow you as long as that person is not a colleague. So, you could take either a solicitor specialising in employment law, or a friend or relative who has good knowledge of employment law whether they're a solicitor, someone in HR, etc.
