Hi
I'm just wondering if anyone knows the answer to this legal question:
After a buy-out by another company, my company has just made the training team redundant; the reason cited was that this was not a profitable arm of the organisation.This means I am now working as a contractor.
I am now working with the organisation to take on any training leads myself.
This arrangement seems to suit most people concerned. However, now the company has decided that, as they have rooms to hire out, they might sell training directly to new clients, hire the rooms out to me and pay me a fixed contractor rate of their choosing. It seems they have realised that training was, in fact, profitable after all and they have shot themselves in the foot.
Referring back to the reason for my redundancy, could it be said that I was unfairly dismissed if they go ahead with their proposal?
Thanks for any advice!
