Rough Justice--A True Story

This is a true story about a shop steward who had 83 grievances with his employer over a 14 month period. By doing his best as a shop steward, he ended up with 57 personal grievances and was threatened with the sack 8 times and was actually sacked twice. The Trade Unions District Audit were informed of these problems though they seemed to decide to protect the employer rather than their union member. Solicitors and barristers were subsequently involved however time passed and this led to time running out for a potential claim. The issues were put into court which, in the opinion of the author, led to rough justice.
