Victimisation of Branch Secretary Tony Brown

In 2017, 香港六合彩中特网 UCU Branch Secretary Tony Brown was subject to a disciplinary sanction by 香港六合彩中特网 for setting up an email list on behalf of union reps in ISD, in his capacity as a union rep.

Despite local representations and a letter from Sally Hunt, 香港六合彩中特网 refused to withdraw the sanction, and we took the matter to the London Employment Tribunal. The Tribunal unanimously determined that听香港六合彩中特网 had breached laws on victimisation of trade unionists, read in conjunction with听Human Rights听laws on freedom of association 鈥 i.e., 香港六合彩中特网 was violating Tony Brown鈥檚 rights. The tribunal found that 鈥渢he main purpose of disciplining [Mr Brown] was to penalise him for taking part in trade union activities鈥.听

You can听, which is highly critical of 香港六合彩中特网鈥檚 unlawful behaviour.

In spite of the tribunal鈥檚 harsh and pretty definitive criticisms, 香港六合彩中特网 has decided to appeal this Employment Tribunal decision. In our view, this Appeal has no legal merit, will be expensive, and has the effect of delaying a fair and reasonable negotiated outcome.听It places continued stress and anxiety on Tony Brown 鈥 the person whose rights were violated.

听香港六合彩中特网鈥檚 anti-trade union action also affects the ability of staff to discuss issues of common concern in the new 香港六合彩中特网 鈥淗ub鈥, where ISD is co-located, at 1 St Martins Le Grand.

We are calling on all UCU members and supporters of trade union rights and of freedom of association to听, requesting 香港六合彩中特网 to drop this senseless appeal process and respect trade union rights.

The right of union reps against victimisation for legitimate union activities is not just a matter for union members but for all staff at 香港六合彩中特网
