TGWU are coming to town

The union will be joining me today in what HR from HQ describe as stage 1 of my grievance procedure even though I have spend the last 2 months haggling over when my appeal should be heard. They said it was in my interest to bring this back a stage which I can see may be the case but the face they are offering this makes me suspicious and if nothing else it is going to make the whole thing drag out that much longer.
