Having problems at work sucks – but having the support of a union can make all the difference.
Here’s some of our latest victories!
March 2024
We settled a long-running dispute with Brighton Language College over the sacking of an admin worker.
We helped a London-based teacher successfully push back against an unlawful contract change.
February 2024
We saw our biggest-ever individual tribunal payout of £40K for constructive dismissal from a particularly recalcitrant London TEFL school.
October 2023
A Bournemouth teacher won £22k at Tribunal for disability-related harassment, constructive dismissal, and wrongful dismissal. Constructive dismissal is notoriously hard to prove (less than 5% of claims are successful at tribunal), but we’ve had two victories this year alone.
September 2023
We resolved a dispute with WE Bridge Academy in Cardiff.
May 2023
We helped one of our members fight back against an unfair contract change that led into an unfair redundancy process. Our support led to a BIG payout – and even an apology from HR!
April 2023
We supported a teacher at a big chain school whose DOS tried to discipline them – w/o reason and w/o process.
