I was recently employed on a CE scheme and was dismissed mid contract (with no warning) for querying my work being removed with no reason given together with a colleague who had just started a grievance procedure about the same thing. I tried to get answers from the sponsors, Dept of SW officer with responsibility for the scheme, her superior and lastly Joan Burtons office. Today I recieved a reply from Ms Burtons dept saying they have no legal right to intervene in this matter. None of they others were going to enquire into this matter either.
It is an absolute disgrace that CE scheme employees have no rights whatsoever with regard to employment law and that the Management committees and assistant Supervisor of the scheme I was on can carry on as they please and treat employees with the utmost contempt. Could you ask Joan Burton why there is no redress for employees who have a complaint? At least under FAS there was some chance of getting your complaint listened to.
