Loosing your Job

I wonder with the way the world is at the moment with people being made redundant, how people with disabilities will fare. It is always those who cannot work full time or who have time off when they are ill or maybe are not in such a productive position , who will be considered first for redundancy. Life is a struggle for the majority of disabled people especially getting round for work etc. This usually means that there day is actually longer than the average persons. I have a friend who has been made redundant after thirteen and a half years. Not only did they try to cover this up by saying there would be other redundancies But they tried to get her to sign a paper to say that she would not discuss it with other people. They offered her extra money to do this which she refused and I believe that if she had not sort legal advice from a trained Solicitor in employment Law, she may not have received what she was entitled to.They also tried to rubbish her work, which if she had been with the company very happily for so long , why did they need to try and demoralize her like that. I think people with disabilities are in for a rough ride, in the present climate and I wonder which MP/Deligate around the world is going to help this vulnerable group. Please feel free to comment especially if you feel you have been one of those who have already lost your job. It is important to have a voice and use it especially if you feel or know some one who has been treated unfairly.
