Im going to the Union
I posted the other day about they way im being treated at work and the termination of my temporary contract and have decided to take it further and seek union assistance.
I was given a 12 month contract and thought it would be extended (as EVERYONE elses has been) My manager said she couldnt afford to lose me and not to worry but i got called up 2 weeks before it was due to expire and have been given my termination date - as they didnt tell me soon enough i was given a one month extension and as a "gesture of goodwill" my manager offered to squeeze me in for an interview 4 days later (another temporary contract doing the exact same job)
Well i went for it and was "unsuccessful" - i get my feedback as to why tomorrow
One minute she says she needs me and cant lose a trained member of staff the next im not good enough????????
She told me i can apply for the other two vacancies coming up (one temporary one permanant) but why would she give me one of these if she wouldnt even give me a 12 week contract as i aplied for???
I didnt think this was fair and have no idea if i have any rights but my colleagues have told me to seek advice so i have.
Anyone else had to resort to this???
Im 27+3 and just feel so stressed with it all

My manager said "you should have went for davids post"
But when it was advertised for 12 weeks i had 16 weeks of my contract left so what would have been the point???
Besides she told me not to worry and that my post would likely be extended,
Im gonna be a single mum and have been owrking so hard to try pay off my debts and sort myself out in time for LO arriving. Now im not gonna have a job and im 7 months pregnant so cant get another now and its stressing me out bigstyle.
I work for the local council so i thought theyd be a little fairer but it really feels like theyre penalising me cos im pregnant xxxx
I went to citizens advice about a prob I had a while ago and thats all I found out really.
Keep it all under your hat and then you wont scupper any chance of you getting another job there before or after baby comes along, keep your options open!
