Subject: [access-uk] O.T Constructive Discrimination
Hi all.
Some list members may recall, around 20 months ago, I wrote to this list
on several issues relating to my treatment from Argyll and Bute Council,
after I had secured a Social Workers post with them. One of the messages
concerned a Risk Assessment on me which concluded that as a blind worker,
I should not be located on any floor other than the ground. Well, as I
said, there were a good few similar issues between the time when I got
the job, January 04 and when I was sacked on May 6, without commencing in
my post. Well, I took the authority to the Employment Tribunal in Glasgow
and the Disability Rights Commission took over the funding after a few
months. This afternoon I received a letter from my lawyer advising that
my case against the authority was successful. I will have to wait a
little while longer before I'm told how much compensation I will receive,
but it's just fantastic to have won my case. With a bit of luck, it will
be all over the papers up hear so perhaps Local Authorities will finally
accept that discrimination of disabled people will simply not be
tolerated any longer.
Best wishes.
Andy
