Taking a Social Justice Oganisation to a Tribunal

[socialwhat]

In preparing my case for constructive dismissal against a social justice organisation (Network for Black Professionals, NBP) has anybody any pointers or advice? I would hope that my application would have compelled them to act appropriately but they remain determined to proceed to tribunal. In addition to vindication of my own position I would hope for an acknowledgement of their actions, although they have instructed eversheds which perhaps speaks volumes!

Presumably they consider your case to be unworthy.
And you unless you give us the faintest idea of the substance of it, nobody can really comment on it.
Just because you were employed by an organisation called Network for Black Professionals doesn't make a blind bit of difference as to the validity of it or the process by which you might plan your case.
Eversheds are a respected law firm. One wonders what you expected them to do - defend it themselves? - the managers there probably have a day job to do.

Ring the ACAS Helpline.

The fact that an employee is taking them to an employment tribunal will not make an employer roll over. It may be that a case is won because the employer has not done everything by the book but obviously they believe they have done nothing wrong and want to defend the case.

The facts are that I have given my employer the Network for Black Professionals every opportunity via a 3 phase grievance procedure to act appropriately and acknowledge what I believe are breaches of my employment rights including a fundamental breach where I claim they had employed someone else to do my job whilst pushing me into another part time role. Numerous senior members of staff at the Network for Black Professionals colluded behind my back on how best (or worst) to go about this. The relevance of my employer, the Network for Black Professionals, as a social justice organisation is that they actively advise others against such practices and therefore ought to stand up and be counted where prima facie it can be proved they have acted appallingly. I have presented the facts and supporting evidence to them and I assume it is the validity therein that has brought about the Network for Black Professionals instructions to Eversheds. Mediation through ACAS has failed and despite a request to establish 'what I want' from Eversheds their client the Network for Black Professionals have elected to proceed to Tribunal. I am prepared for what that entails but would like to ensure without prejudice that my forced demise is brought into the public domain in the best interest of everyone. I do not know how to go about this or whether indeed it is appropriate in the circumstances? And although there is no discrimination per se I would like to explore the possibility of including a claim for self esteem. I feel hurt feelings are equally relevant in situations where no discrimination can be proved but an employee has suffered intimidation and their employment rights consistently undermined. I understand that this area of law is developing and would appreciate any pointers.
