I'm being bullied at work

[ssd]

And don't know what to do about it. Am in unite union and am planning on speaking to them. No use speaking the HR, there's none. The boss man is friends with the person bullying me. The bully is allowed to drink at work and everyone knows he drinks. It's bar and restaurant work I'm in. This person has bullied me for years and it's been noticed by others. I've had enough. I want the unions advice. I'm taking it further. In my work place there's a committee who are voluntary and one person paid in charge. Very much an old boys network. The person bullying me has drunk at work for years and although management and the committee know, nothings been done. He lost his licence as he regularly drives home drunk, lost his licence straight after a shift at work, was straight back behind the bar to work with access to all the drink he wants.
Has anyone any advice, am hoping to speak to the union rep next week.

If you walk away you're empowering yourself, you're saying I'm too good to let you treat me in this unacceptable way. You'd definitely be the winner.

I'll shut up now

I've been looking for a new job for a while now, it's just hard getting enough hours to match what I'm on.
I think dh needs a word in his ear. He'd shit himself.

I worked somewhere very small where the person I made a complaint about was friends with the manager.
My job became untenable as they basically stuck together. I raised a grievance but decided I needed to leave as the atmosphere was so unpleasant.

I’m sure there’s a better job out there for you somewhere.

I am also in a situation where the person openly harassing me is best buddies with the head of the department. The person harassing me is like an untouchable and she doesn't even try to conceal her appalling behaviour towards me. She is a protected species and that's that. It's also like an old boys network, except these are middle aged women.
I am desperately trying to leave.

I'll go someday but I'm not going cos of him. I'm too angry about it. This person isn't liked and everyone knows he drinks at work on every shift. Everyone covers his back for him. Even though they don't like him and don't know how he gets away with it. I'm done with being quiet. I'm known in work as mouthy but I've always felt intimidated by him as he's management. And whilst I've kept my mouth shut he's been slagging me off to other staff behind my back for years. So no more. He's the sort if you answered him back he wouldn't like it, that's why he's bullied me as I don't answer back. Those that do he leaves alone.
Saying get another job is easier said than done. Where I live there aren't many jobs, I look online and they are all down south.
I'll keep looking but my days of keeping quiet at work over him are done.

Let us know what your rep has to say, OP x

Will do, won't get to speak to them till Friday.

Ne f time he drinks and heads for the car ring the police, not just because he deserves it, and you may get rid of him but the safety of othes is at risk.

That's already happened and it didn't affect his job at all
