Anyone from the UK?

Sparky,

Yes, definitely one of your recognised workplace onions and then add CAB, press and MP to 'lean' a little (especially if it was an injury at work).

 

[SirSparky]

Yeah, fairly sure that's not a thing they can do. Hope the union works something out.

Im still signed off sick from the hospital until beginning of November so they shouldn't even be talking about termination until at least then

 

[SirSparky]

Or ACAS, they're great for workplace advice

Yeah ACAS is going to be my next point of call if union cant help

Im with the GMB who have just negotiated the latest pay deal backdated to 1st April

Have you got the number of one of the reps? Worth a text outlining the situation and asking for advice.

Yeah already contacted my shop steward. He has passed it on to his contact in the union and said I should get a call in a couple days

 

[Anastasia1999]

I know that feeling. Off sick and in hospital with spinal injury, work called the other day saying they are thinking of terminating my contract as I am not able to do the job due to my disability and have no other positions. Im speaking to the Union

Happy you are in a Union. Disgraceful behaviour. Good luck.

Is Trump staying overnight in Starmer‘s gaff tonight?

Yeah even my gf said they can't do that whoke off sick. Her company will medically retire someone if they are too ill to come back to work

Dont know, havent been following the news. Ive been at the SCI games in Stoke Mandeville all day

I lost my job due to chronic pain so I understand hope you have a union

I had my usual Bacon and Egg rolls with mayo, kind of addicted to bacon.

Can't beat a bacon and egg roll/ sandwich what ever you put it in .

I'm rather worried I broke a sacred rule and had an evening coffee instead of a tea. At nearly 9pm. I can feel bees in my bones...

Only just catching up, was this a work related injury?
Something that has been progressing through work?

Always prefer a coffee to tea at any time of the day

I usually try to avoid it at this time for the aforementioned bees-in-bones reason, but I was already feeling a bit giddy so I unconsciously made a coffee with my toast. Ah well

Hi I'm a 58 yrs gent from Bath

 

[joclfc]

So after a long afternoon and night shift, followed by a few naps today and babysitting my 2 year old Granddaughter, I finally get to have a long soak in a hot bath .

No not work related. Just statted getting excruciating back pain for no reason for 4 weeks then collapsed and couldn't walk or stand. Turns out I had a calcified disc which prolapsed into my spinal cavity and compressed my spinal cord and nerves so needed an operation on spine. Now have a missing vertebrae and rods and screws to support spine which resulted in loss of use of legs. 4 months later with intense rehab I am now able to stand and trying to tske a few steps with a frame. Can onky get abijt in a wheelchair now

I’m the reverse. No coffee but plenty of tea. Though not after about 7pm. I’ve got a beer now

Try Beer or Spirits, much better
