Trade union rules

    Hi,

    I got dismissed from my job (no warnings, been there 10 years - complete set up) and my trade union official said at the time that it could not support a strike or similar action of my colleagues (they were in favour of this) as the issue would have to go third party, i.e. Rights Commissioner, Employment Appeals tribunal.

    Later on, at a different meeting, a different trade union official stated that there was not popular support for strike action at the time (see above), and that the trade union would have possibly embarked on initiating that kind of action, but there was very little point talking about it now. The issue re
    lack of support was because another member accused me of harassment. He was assistant shop steward (albeit unaware of and uninterested in his responsibility) and I was the shop steward. He was breaching custom and practice for his own benefit and I was approached by members to try and resolve the breach. I engaged in regular communication with him and he then claimed I was harassing him. He initiated or brought about most of the communication because of untruthfulness and directly contacting me.

    I need the union as i have been to the LRC (awaiting recommendation) and might possibly end up in the EAT but I am quietly seething about this. Anybody know the truth regarding lawful strike action for individual cases, before seeking third party intervention?

    sorry its long winded
