Defend PCS Rep Jane Brooke

By PCS SW circular

Wednesday, 09 December 2009

Land Registry have sacked PCS Rep Jane Brooke. Jane is based at Weymouth Land Registry and it appears her only offence was to make an industrial injury complaint against Land Registry. Surveillance was conducted on six members of staff at the Weymouth Office. Not only do we believe this is a breach of both the Data Protection and Human Rights Acts but also we believe it is an affront to common human decency. Land Registry management board singled out 2 of our colleagues to undergo the ordeal of a particularly unpleasant disciplinary enquiry which lasted for many months. The Land Registry pursued this seemingly dubious investigation, conducted a hearing in breach of its own procedures and then acted as both prosecutor and judge.

As a result of this process Jane was summarily dismissed and escorted off the premises without notice (correction, without being unfair to management, she was given 5 minutes to collect her personal effects and compose herself, while a senior member of staff stood guard). Having worked in the same office for 31 years with an unblemished record, this is absolutely devastating for both Jane and her colleagues.

Please support our Campaign meeting:

Friday 11^th December 2009

At the Alexandra Pub, Chickerell Road Weymouth .

Starting at 11.45am

Speakers include Chris Baugh Assistant General Secretary, Brian Shaw Group Secretary and other speakers to be confirmed.

It is absolutely vital that we obtain justice for Jane and all those subjected to this covert surveillance.
