Sounds bad, have you got a HR department to seek advice.?
They are there to support the company and not the person
Not like they used to be I'm afraid.

They have to advise you the correct procedure to mediation or other issues, any deviation from the HR law guidlines will put the employer/ bosses at a disadvantage.
My wife is a HR manager and this question of us and them always creeps up.
HR are there to advise managers and employees alike as to correct procedure in disputes..use them it's free. Depending on the outcome, you can then seek advise. Usually dosen't get to tribunial though if process has been correctly adhered to by both sides.
Process faliure to suite the bosses, then by all means get professionals involved.
do you have access to a professional body/ union? they are normally pretty good...
hope that helps...

I'd respectfully disagree. Where I work (and in previous recent employers where I've headed up HR depts), I've always been very clear that we're there to support the business, not the employees. We'll provide procedural advice where the two coincide, but that's about it. Not like the old Personnel depts. And I say that with no sense of shame, either - it isn't a secret.
When an employee comes to me and says "I have a problem" I'll steer them towards the correct policy btu when they say "Is this fair?" or "Can you sort it out?" I remind them what my role is (unless it's a blindingly obvious one, of course). Oh, or unless she's really pretty.
There are a few HR professionals on here (me included) who would be happy to give you a general view on any particular set of circumstances. Not lawyers, but my experience of employment lawyers is that there are some good ones and some dangerous ones out there. And they have a vested interest in getting you to take things forward externally, whether or not you have a real case.
'No win no fee' employment lawyers are (thankfully) few and far between.
I absolutely agree!
If HR doesn't add value to the business, it has no place at all.
The 'welfare model' of HR should have vanished several decades ago!

Call the acas helpline, I did back in the summer and the lady on the phone was really helpful and spent 30+ minutes talking over things.

Fuck the Union if they are dealing with Large Employers they don't always work for the best of the Individual but to achieve harmony between themselves and employers!
I struggle some days not to go visit the Twat who represented me and trail him across the desk and explain some stuff to him in a "Clear and detailed manner!"
