Dear [Labour
Protect],
I doubt one can find the words to thank someone
like yourself for the understanding and concern you showed
toward me after I had only been a member of LABOUR PROTECT for 3months,
but once again a very big THANK YOU LABOUR
PROTECT.
Your organization had been absolutely fantastic
in sorting out my labour dispute with my employer, who suspended me with
full pay and then refused to not only pay the salary that was due to me,
but not an additional cent for unfair dismissal.
On your recommendation, I attended the disciplinary hearing they had
scheduled for me even though they were going to have [Employer
Organisation] their as their
representative and I was going alone. Despite the odds, I always felt
that [Labour Protect]
and the Labour Attorney you had instructed to brief me the day before
were only a phone call away.
Thanks to [first
name of the Labour Protect attorney],
the attorney, I was so well prepared and all
fired up and did not feel intimidated in the least, as you
already explained to me that it was all procedure and that whatever the
outcome your organization, Labour Protect, would appeal against.
So I went and listened, took the verdict,
signed nothing, tried to behave even though I defended myself, I still
felt the whole hearing was a farce and very biased on [Employer's
Organisation's] side, but hey,
what the hell, I had Labour Protect. I felt
strong.
Both [the staff of Labour Protect]
and [first name of the Labour
Protect attorney]
supported me well and understood my situation,
that I was the sole breadwinner and that my lifestyle was now being
severely prejudiced because my salary for August was already 2 weeks
late. And you accommodated me, by settling as I insisted for just the
salary and notice pay even though you were confident that you could win
on Constructive Dismissal and get me 12months pay. And I know that [first
name of the Labour Protect attorney]
would have won, because in my opinion he
handled the whole situation professionally but vehemently and he was
winning.
But alas, I am to blame for asking you guys to settle swiftly for the
immediate overdue salary and the notice pay and not to go into a long
protracted legal battle we all knew we would win, and come away with a
years salary. I needed to pay my rent.
Congratulations for getting my settlement within 20 days, it was
brilliant.
This is not the first time I belong to a union for professional people
and I must say the previous claim I had was not handled in the same
manner as Labour Protect did.
You are the best.
You made me feel important, cared for and
special. You showed concern for my plight and acted promptly, yet you never did anything without consulting with me first and
enquiring about my monetary situation.
I will be giving this advise to all
Professional Employees out there that this must be their top priority to
join Labour Protect. When they leave home in the morning to
go to work, know that they are prepared to take any curve ball their
employer might throw them that day. Know that they are Protected by
Labour Protect for if they're not, they could very well end up like me,
except that I had Labour Protect to assist me.
As a middle class employee, there's not
always that assurance that should they be unfairly dismissed tomorrow
they will be able to pay their bond, car or rental or even their
childrens schooling, but with Labour Protect
they have that guarantee that protection is only a phonecall away.
Their will be less suicides out there if their are more people
affiliated to Labour Protect.
I have been in a labour dispute and could take it in my stride because
of you.
Thank you [Labour
Protect].
Kind Regards,

Hi
[Labour
Protect]
I just want to thank you sincerely
for your assisting me with the problem I had at work. I also want
to inform you that everything is going smoothly at the office.
The atmosphere was not OK in the beginning but everything seems
to be falling into place. It is all A BIG THANK YOU TO
LABOUR PROTECT.
Secondly, I also wish to thank you for
making a double deduction from my salary because that confirms my
standing with you financially.
Lastly, I have introduced 3 people from
my company [3 names provided]
These people were impressed about how everything was handled.
Thank you once more.
Regards
