I was once made redundant alongside a woman who was pregnant and she was convinced that the only reason I went was to try and cover the company's back for getting rid of her. As I was planning on going to uni soon anyway I didn't challenge it, but I found out that she did and was compensated.

I've just started a new job and I've noticed some signs of being treated differently by one of my managers on the basis of what I feel is my age. Because of this I've decided to join a union just in case it escalates and I don't know what to do if it threatens my job if I challenge it.
I'm getting confused (not difficult) Are you saying that you want the manager to get you pregnant then you can get made redundant and sue the firm or would you like the Union to step in.

In my experience Unions are just as bent as anyone else when cash is concerned.
