I personally don't have any bother with chip and pin but appreciate that some people might have. My complaint is with the way that we received this e-mail. If it was me that sent it, I would have just pasted the infointo a new message rather than forwarding it with all of that rubbish there before you get to the meat of the message.

Subject: Disabled People and Chip and Pin



The TUC has been supporting the Disability Rights Commission in its work to prevent discrimination against disabled people - especially learning disabled people - through the adoption of chip and pin technology. Having failed to make real progress in discussion with the banks etc, the DRC is now considering legal action if suitable cases can be identified.


They have asked the TUC for help in identifying individuals who may have suffered discrimination through the failure of suppliers to accept alternatives to Chip and Pin.
They ask anyone with a possible case to first contact the DRC Helpline, 08457 622633 (textphone 08457 622644, fax 08457 778878) - helpline advisers will discuss the case with the caller and if appropriate pass it on to the legal team.
Please can you circulate this information through any networks and encourage anyone - especially a learning disabled member - with a possible case, to contact the DRC helpline.
Thanks,
