Charities as Bad Employers

Debra Wilson was not only expected to drive an unsafe car during her employment at the Life Education Trust (Rodney) she was also subsequently unjustifiably dismissed. 

Charities are supposed to make a difference to the community, and because of their philanthropic nature most people hope that they behave well to all those they come into contact with, including their employees. Unfortunately, in our experience, charities are over represented in personal grievance claims. In other words, and on average, charities are worse employers than commercial businesses. This is a generalisation and we know that there are many fine charities that treat their people well, however, looking at averages we are disappointed by how often we have had to represent employees who have been mistreated by their charity employer. What's your experience?
