It is outrageous that the government are going ahead with their proposal to introduce fees that employees have to pay up front before they can even go to tribunal. The amount they would need to pay for unfair dismissal, for example, would be up to £1,200 this is of course designed to ensure that the tribunal system gets fewer claims but it is unfair and unjust and would force, especially low paid workers, to just put up with any bullying and harassment at the workplace.
The TUC has responded by publishing a document at their site http://www.tuc.org.uk/equality/tuc-21213-f0.cfm it remains to be seen how unions will deal with an influx of members who would demand that their union pay that fee in advance of any claim!
