Hi, hoping someone can answer some questions I have. I've just been made redundant, and think I may have a pretty good case for unfair dismissal. I'm going to try and get a free legal consultation, but before I'm likely to get that I have my first one to one meeting with management and I was hoping for advice on how to play it.
For background, I've recently come back from maternity leave and now my role is being made redundant and another, very similar one created. In the meantime, the guy who did my cover has quite obviously being groomed to take this new role (being invited to relevant meetings where I wasn't, etc).
I've also been told that a former colleague was told my my manager that he wanted rid of me before I even came back from maternity leave, and he may be willing to say this on the record.
For the meeting, I'm guessing it's best to keep my intentions to myself - is that right? I was going to ask them to clarify the exact differences between the two roles too. Are there any other questions worth asking at this point?
Thanks in advance :)
Finally, is it my right to take someone into the meeting with me - can this be anyone, and do I have to give notice? Can they veto my choice? Oh, and can they ask me not to make notes? They've done this previously at union meetings I believe.
