"Role" made Redundant but only 1 out of 3 people in the Role have been made Redundant My issue is the way this redundancy has been carried out.......let me explain.
3 of us have carried out exactly the same job in Purchasing as "Senior Purchasing Specialists" for over 15 months. Each of us has carried out exactly the same day to day duties/roles/responsability etc.
I was called to my Managers office and handed my letter with very little explination. I asked if the other 2 people had also been put at risk. The answer I got was that one of my collegues had been told she was at risk but was being kept on for an undefined period because the business needed her SAP Computer System experiance. I was told the other collegue was not at risk as although he carried out exactly the same job as me he had apparently retained his job title from a previous role within the company (Which dissapeared as part of a reorganisation over 15months ago, resulting in him joining my team and assuming the same role as myself and the other Senior Purchasing Specilaist).
My question is is this allowed?? Although his job title may not have been changed he has "Assumed" the role of "Senior Purchasing Specialist" and has been sending out emails with the title of "Senior Purchasing Specialist" since he transffered into my team.
Have I got a good case for unfair dismissal in light of the above?? The"Role" of senior purchasing specialist is being made redundant although one personis being "Retained" for her Computer System skills and the other collegue is not at risk due to the job title.
Please can someone help me as I am a family man with 4 young kids and not a lot of cash................................
Regards
Andy
