Defend PCS Rep Jane Brooke

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.
