Exploits of a Welsh UCU officer

Exploits of a Welsh UCU officer, whom I contacted for 'help', 'support', and 'advice'.

After submitting my resignation due to repeated violations of my rights at work, this Welsh UCU officer sent an e-mail to the head of the human resources raising doubts about the quality of the work that I was to deliver in the remaining period of my employment "Can we guarantee that the work that he will submit will be as good as...? " Note how the Welsh UCU officer refers to himself and the HR manager by "We".


In another email, he discloses confidential information about my complaint to an external organisation. He tells the head of human resources in a surprised tone, "he already contacted someone external!" and "the last thing we want is another race discrimination case in the press".


Is there a possibility of closing the Welsh UCU offices or of preventing UCU from scamming members again.

It is very useful for UCU members to be aware of what may happen when they go to UCU for support...

...sometimes it can feel a bit like escaping from one bully into the den of another...

...this doesn't mean that there aren't UCU staff who are supportive...but just don't assume that you will be supported....

I haven't felt supported in my latest encounters with UCU ....

Is the official whose behaviour you describe? Not good news for me, as I've just turned to him for help
