Think this is unfair dismissal and not redundancy

in work we had to have interviews for our own own jobs as part of a restructuring process.

My interview started one and a half hours late, the chair said twice he had another meeting to go and he was opinionated in the interview.

After the interview I was told, I was unsuccessful and not to come back.
The criteria for the new jobs were interview alone. I have been a great employee for 11 years, excellent appraisals, sickness etc

My job has now been advertised externally.

They haven't paid me for the whole of December (monthly salary)

The feedback from my interview said I met the criteria in most of the answers. He mentioned a few answers which were not relevant to the job ie blag.

It was only when I put in a request formal complaint meeting, that HR offered to meet up for redeployment options. They are saying I should do zero hour contracts, after advertising my job.

I am appealing the interview, but HR are messing this up. The appeal meeting will now be after the closing date for my advertised job.

The union rep has been ill, but often they throw him out of meetings. Work is closed now until 6th of Jan so I am just worrying.

One other thing they are prepared to lie.

I don't know but it sounds shit. Mohave you contacted acas? My mum used them for something similar and found them really, really good. I'm sure they were free as well. They may be better than your local union rep.

It is redundancy if the job hasn't changed but there is a reduced requirement for the number of people to do it. Or if your job changes substantially and you can't do the amended role.

If they have advertised your exact role externally it doesn't sound like it is either of those. If they have just decided that you aren't capable of doing your job then that's not redundancy.

I'm surprised it had been messed up so badly if HR are involved, it's pretty bread and butter stuff.

Gather your contract, your job description, the details of the role advertised externally, the selection process and your feedback and see a solicitor.
