Is there still Rule of Law in Gibraltar?                          Is there corruption in the local police?

             Are employees' Human Rights protected?                          Is there a mafia in Gibraltar?

                        How corrupt are the Courts in Gibraltar?                                        Is Entain a bad employer?

bullied out of the company. All this happened while I was looking forward tremendously to my holiday in Belgium to be entirely away from Gibraltar and all work related issues to at least, for a week, be fully disconnected. This holiday refusal saga had a disastrous effect on my mental health and well-being and I resorted to even more alcohol consumption to be able to sleep and numb my thoughts.

249. On the same date 23rd April 2018 HR sent me an email with an attached invitation letter for a meeting with the Vice-President Roni Maman the following day. The first thing I checked was who sent and signed the letter, it was Emma Horwood. I also noticed that it had “CC Personnel File” under the signature and that immediately worried me, I found that alarming and intimidating as I had no way of knowing what the implications could be in the long or short term or in what way this could negatively affect my career opportunities in the company.

250. The invitation letter from HR:
Dear Bart,
Re: Invite to Grievance Investigation
I am writing to confirm that you are required to attend an investigation meeting on Tuesday 24th April 2018 at 9.30am. This will take place in the HR meeting room, 1st floor, Atlantic Suites.
This meeting is part of the process that is taking place in response to the grievance raised by you on 6th April 2018 and will be chaired by Roni Maman, VP Business Operations. I will also be in attendance to support the process and take notes.
You have the right to be accompanied at the meeting by a work colleague or Employee Representative. Please be aware no other form of representation is permitted and it is your responsibility to make the necessary arrangements. If you wish to be accompanied, please contact me by email to confirm in writing by 23rd April 2018 by 5pm to advise me of the name of the person, so that any necessary arrangements can be made.
If this letter or the information that you have received needs further clarification please do not hesitate to contact me.
Yours sincerely,
Emma Horwood
