    This lady worked for five months, then took maternity leave back to back for over two years and refused to come back to work due to personal issues that had nothing to do with her maternity leave and claimed unfair dismissal. Just wow.

    I’m a terrible union-loving leftie who loves nothing more than seeing workers get what they’ve earned, so I read this prepared to be outraged on her behalf.

    And wasn’t.

    Dunno why she thought she had a case, but according to what I read there, she really didn’t.

      Yeah, I’m a long time union member who even worked for a rep as a bit, if a member came to me with this I’d tell her she brought it on herself and there’s little we can do.

      There’s always going to be a handful of people who are either too detached from reality to grasp that they don’t have a case, and another handful who know they don’t have a case but who are willing to chance a ridiculous claim.
