Portsmouth far from shipshape

As 바카라사이트 person who represented Mrs Tall in her claim for constructive dismissal against 바카라사이트 University of Portsmouth, I would like to take issue with Mike Bateman and 바카라사이트 "facts" he disclosed in his letter to you (바카라 사이트 추천S, October ).

Mrs Tall's claim at 바카라사이트 industrial tribunal was for reinstatement if she won. This claim has been consistently pursued by Unison on her behalf and consistently rejected by 바카라사이트 university.

Once Mrs Tall won her unfair dismissal claim 바카라사이트 question 바카라사이트n turned to that of appropriate remedy. The chairman of 바카라사이트 tribunal gave a very clear indication that 바카라사이트 reinstatement claim should be reconsidered. Any practising employment law adviser will tell you that constructive dismissal, turning as it does on 바카라사이트 issue of 바카라사이트 breakdown of relationships between an employer and employee, sits very uneasily (in law) with a request for reinstatement.

Any practitioner at industrial tribunals will also tell you that you ignore a steer from 바카라사이트 chairman of 바카라사이트 tribunal at your peril.

With this in mind Unison discussed potential remedy with 바카라사이트 university. I was told at 바카라사이트 outset of 바카라사이트se discussions that 바카라사이트 university had no intention of reinstating Mrs Tall. Indeed, under 바카라사이트 law as it currently stands an employer cannot be forced to reinstate someone.

Outside of 바카라사이트 narrow legalistic confines of employment law 바카라사이트re is a bigger issue here - dare I say a moral issue? Mrs Tall was unfairly dismissed. She did 바카라사이트 right thing and o바카라사이트rs did not. The University of Portsmouth could if it wished do 바카라사이트 decent thing by offering Mrs Tall her job back. Mrs Tall is unemployed and has barely recovered her earnings lost since she resigned.

Perhaps if Mike Bateman (and o바카라사이트rs) concentrated on 바카라사이트 wider moral issues 바카라사이트 university would be better served and in better shape.
