TUPE OR NOT TUPE

Submitted by gary1moseley on Wed, 08/06/2011 - 5:18pm

I am currently working on FRW and have been informed that I am not covered under tupe. Am I wrong or do we all do the same job (FND,FRW,ND etc) we provide a service that assists people in to work. Our employers are playing games with careers here, they were happy to employ us in these role but are now happy to of-load when the going gets hard. I to, have worked very hard on FND,ND etc, so why am I not covered???

FRW is finishing not because the contract is due to come to a natural end, their was an option to extend for another 2 years. With the new govenment in power,they have changed the goal posts and we are at the other end of this, so our employers have been quick to off-load and claim NON-TUPE rights. I wish companies would grow some and take responsibility for their actions!!

Being the top branch in the company and not being covered is very hard to take!! for all of use.

Sorry, FRW (Flexible Route Way) part of the work programme, under the European Social Fund. Which forms 25% of funding for the new welfare to work programme. FRW was a volunteer programme, which is due to close June 22nd 2011, due to change in government!!
