Hello
I'm looking to ask something of someone who has experience of HR or employment law.
This is non railway related. I have a colleague at work who has a grievance running about our regional manager. He is not the only one, my supervisor has raised a grievance and I have made a complaint about the same individual. My colleague has been off work for over a month with work related stress due to an incident with the regional manager.
We have been working, since we joined the company, on different sites. Let's say I have been on site a, my colleague on site b, both close to home.
I have recently been told by my supervisor (in front of three other witnesses) that the regional manager, despite having the budget, is holding off employing someone on site c, about an hour and a half round trip away, and he plans to move my colleague from site b to site c, in the hope he will not accept this journey and leave the company, and also employ someone new to work on site b.
My question is: would this be a form of constructive dismissal? My colleague hasn't caused trouble on site b and hasn't fallen out with his team mates there.
I also have the dilemma of whether I should tell my colleague what I have heard. I don't want to implicate my supervisor or myself but I feel he has the right to know.
Hoping the above makes sense, would be grateful for any advice.
