If the bullying has stopped (assuming it was there in the first place and if it was that it wasn’t in some way self inflicted) then I can’t see why you can’t just draw a line and move on. What exactly do you want to achieve?

Update , it appears now that the other guy’s story is different, & he is in denial of his actions. A second set of minutes have been done after another meeting. I have less seven days to make an appeal , or its brushed under the carpet!!!. Where the heck is the justice in that ■■?I don’t think they can legally specify a time limit for your reply, as I think the legal guidance is “a reasonable” time limit. So you can, and should, instantly contest that time limit with them citing your reasons on why you need longer to reply. I’d guess they they are attempting to make the whole thing go away by attempting to make things as difficult, rushed and awkward as possible for you! As I said before, they are probably only thinking about covering their arse legally if this matter goes to a tribunal or court case. So if you detail why you need longer than 7 days to formulate your response to them, they will then have to consider their perceived position if they still attempt to impose a short deadline on you.
Best of luck…
Thanks Evil8Beezle, it seems that they are doing things by the book maybe, I think they would probably want to push it through quickly . The seven days is too short a time limit when you’re working .

Then sit back & wait
Thanks animal , I shall see what I can do.

Thanks for your reply Tris, it may help to to read the first post again if you haven’t already done so. Surely its not too much to ask for anybody to be able to work unthreatened, in their place of work, or working environment.
i’m sympathetic, it’s been mentioned before in this thread, join a union… URTU, Unite whoever will do you a world of good.
Good luck.

Seems to me you have two choices, let it drop and hopefully things will calm down, or go to the citizens advice and seek advice on an industrial tribunal. The latter will ultimately mean you will need a new job plus your name will be mud with local hauliers. Sadly it’s your word against his and I don’t think you’ve got a leg to stand on if it got to a tribunal unless you can catch them out on a procedural mistake.
It all boils down to what you want to achieve and what is realistic. I think youd be better off talking to your boss and asking him if he’d give you a good reference and then moving on to pastures new. Can’t see it’s worth the grief fighting on when you won’t get anywhere.

Thanks Tris , I have an excellent traceable work history of many years. " Mud" would also stick to the company & the perpetrator .
Employers & employees have a legal duty to keep a safe working environment for their fellow colleagues.
He could always own up & apologise to me in front of the boss & assure me he will never do it again !! , this lies with him to come clean from his actions .
