On a side note- I got notified last week (Thursday) that I was 'invited' to a grievance appeal meeting. I immediately (same day) replied by recorded delivery that I had not made an appeal as no result from the grievances had been received and could not have been as no formal grievance meeting had actually taken place. So how could I appeal? I asked for urgent confirmation
At 10pm on Monday eve I got an e mail that the meeting was to be a full blown grievance meeting! Set for 10am the next morning.
You couldn't make it up.
I did attend. 4 hour meeting.
