Jo Phoenix vs The OU Employment Tribunal 2nd October (whispers Ben Cooper)

[ickky]

Employment Tribunal starts next Monday, not sure if it is available for remote viewing.

I have sent a request so we will see.

PS I love British Wildlife - of all varieties. I love seeing it on my facebook and twitter feeds.

is that a subtle reference to support wrens?

@ATowerOfGiraffes No idea, but it was my first thought too.

I am in Watford - can one just turn up then? 🙂

You can, here is the address

Employment Tribunals (Watford)
Watford Tribunal Hearing Centre, Radius House, 51 Clarendon Road, Watford, WD17 1HPOffice: 0192 328 1750

I have had an email with login details.

it’s appears that there have been more requests for access than capacity in the system so it has been granted on a “first come first served” basis.

Just got mine too.

Did you have any of the mentioned attachments ickky, ie joining notes or FAQ?

I haven't received an email yet, but will be following this thread regardless.

Good luck everybody. Big week ahead (although may be a quiet-ish day today as it's preliminaries).

Following, even the boring bits, to show solidarity with Jo Phoenix (and a poke in the eye for the OU as I am unfortunately paying them ££ to study ar the moment). Good luck to Jo and team.

No attachments, but advice to only use Google Chrome browser as it the only one that is compatible.

Good luck to Jo, I’ll be following as much as possible and willing her on!

What time is it due to start - is it 9 or 10, I can't seem to find this detail!

10am start

Wishing no the best today!

JO!

Thanks, @ickky

Go Jo!

Hoper everyone has their support wrens, cats, mothers and dogs ready.

Wishing Jo good luck for today - my access has come through too (twice - anyone else?) I thought the ref to British wildlife was just that she'd like to see her timeline full of nice wildlife pics, missed the support wren reference completely!

Watford Tribunal right now.

All the best Jo. Go SuperBen!

Jo will win this I am sure, despite the OU dirty tricks and scare tactics.
I'm heartened that her new employer is so supportive of her, and that she is still publishing.
Strength and courage to you Jo!

Good luck today Jo!!!

Just a note for those who have login details - I note from the FAQ (in the second email we got) that the instructions are to join the meeting with microphone and camera on, and then switch them off after we join if we want. I can only presume the instructions are the standard ones aimed at witnesses rather than observers. I don't know how many observers are attending, but I'm hoping this doesn't become a technical nightmare for the clerk like at Allison's hearing. Camera cover on for me!

I will be having this on in the background while I WFH, and dipping in and out when I can around meetings etc.

I have attempted to join, currently showing 'waiting for host to join'. Anyone else? I'm a former OU student, so this whole thing has a personal feel for me.

Good luck Jo.

Thanking you all in advance for any updates.
