Margaret Gribbon being excellent:
The Herald understands Ms Peggie, who worked in A&E at Kirkaldy’s Victoria Hospital, claims her union turned its back on her because it “had adopted gender identity belief as its institutional belief, and was therefore unwilling or unable to recognise that she was or might be entitled to insist on the maintenance of the female changing room as a single-sex space”.
She also claims the union failed to acknowledge her belief that she was experiencing discrimination and harassment from NHS Fife and Dr Upton.
Ms Peggie’s lawyer, Margaret Gribbon of McGrade Employment Solicitors in Glasgow, said last night: “The RCN’s failure to act like a trade union ought to, has contributed to Sandie Peggie’s mistreatment.
"They have repeatedly failed to exercise their industrial muscle to advocate for female members distressed because they are being deprived of genuine single-sex spaces to dress and undress at work.
“Had the RCN fulfilled the conventional role of a trade union, it is less likely that Sandie would have faced the ordeal of an 18-month disciplinary process and having to raise legal proceedings against Fife Health Board.”
