NHS Fife tries to silence nurse

[Hoardasurass]

So as has been mentioned on threads about the Darlington nurses a nurse is sueing NHS Fife over its trans staff policy.
The poor nurse was forced to get changed infront of a man in the female changing facilities, when she complained about it she was 1st told to change in a cupboard if she didn't like it, then they tried to bully her into swapping shifts so she didn't work with the man in question (she wouldn't), then they wanted her to move hospital (again she refused) so then they suspended her without pay for months until her solicitor got involved and now they are trying to gag her by insisting that the court case (starts in February) must be held in secret (I wonder why) and will be in crt next month asking to restrict reporting on the case.

This case is really important in Scotland because the trans staff policy that's going on trial in this case is the Scottish government's own policy used in all public sector organisations in Scotland and works on self id. So when this case is won it will finally kill the Scottish government's self id policy in all public bodies

I sent my be to Edinburgh @ILikeDungs

Have just sent a request to Edinburgh, Fanny. Crossed fingers

@ILikeDungs Presumably no harm in sending to Edinburgh as well, with the case number also in the line?

You ain't missed nothing yet.

It varies. Some want to vet via camera, some don't.

Coming in and out varies too. Some let you straight back in. Some, like Justin, go on a power trip. Too early I think to know what this ET will be like, though they have been v quick to grant access off email requests.

Is everyone else still getting WFTCHTJ? I don't know whether to log out and back in again or not...

Yes, still waiting. Just logged out and back in.

I am, and i logged in just after 10.

I logged out 5 minutes, cos i didn't want it to kick me out at 11.
It reconnected straight away.

No update from Tribunal tweets yet either.
Anyone know if they have people there in person or are logged on like us?

Anyway here's a handy guide to their abbreviations while we wait.

I'm still WFTCHTJ.

Same.

I'm in! Thank you Edinburgh (and wims), WFTCHTJ like the rest of you

Anyone else hoping NHS Fife / Scotland have seen sense (now they know there is public scrutiny of their actions) and decided to accept that they've discriminated against women?

TT are saying will start shortly.

I'm still WFTCHTJ.

Same, but heartened that TT are now in.

Welcome to the conference!

I ask myself that question before every employment tribunal.
But, we know that the process is the punishment, and the dickhead complaint just walks away without a care in the world.

Here we go!

Someone had left their mic on. It sounds like they were on a motorbike!

I'm in. Good luck @Skyellaskerry hope you hear back soon.

Lots of observers

Hmm

I thought there would be scrutiny of online attendees and recall a a previous occasion when there were complaints about the anonymous names chose by some so I dutifully typed in my actual name.

Now I see that wasn't necessary. Some people have just put in initials or first name.

Oh well. I don't suppose it matters unless there are other observers who make note of names for cross referencing or whatever.

Too late now.

Witnesses are given the freedom to use the pronouns they consider appropriate.

Lots of observers

I am sure that's not what the Fife Health Board and Dr Upton would have wanted. Oh dear!

When you say lots of observers, roughly how many would you say?
