As a public sector organisation, you have a public sector equality duty of the equality act 2010. What equality impact assessment have you done when removing stops from the service?

๐Ÿ˜ก Blacklisting workers for union activities is despicable.ย 

Those who do it are breaking the law and must be held to account.ย

I kept moving the goal posts. Didnโ€™t think Iโ€™d reach 16 then 18 then 21 then 30 then 40. 46 now and Iโ€™ve not prepared (financially) to be this old. Iโ€™m just thankful that I have a stable(ish) career now
