East Lothian Council
East Lothian is following in the footsteps of a few other Scottish councils - by trying to frighten and bully its employees into signing new contracts of employment.
The council has been issuing letters in recent days - saying basically that employees must accept the new terms and conditions on offer - or else!
And if you're not used to dealing with this kind of bullying behaviour, it's obviously very intimidating and threatening.
So, to take the stress out of the situation we have prepared a response for Action 4 Equality clients - a copy of which can be sent to you on request.
All you need to do is to address and date the letter before signing and sending it off to the council chief executive - keeping a copy for future reference.
If you require such a letter, please request one from our Newcastle office or send your contact details by e-mail to: markirvine@compuserve.com
