Bullying and harassment at St Albans Council

If you dare to make a complaint against St Albans Council you might as well start packing your bags and start looking for another job straight away. God knows how many Civil Enforcement Officers have been weeded out and sacked on bogus and trumped up of charges just for daring to make a complaint in the first place. Their livelihoods cruelly and callously taken away from them one after another in steady of succession. Poor souls. Alas, this is indeed a sign of the times. These Council executives are supposed to be public servants but they behave more like ruthless private sector companies and yet this is supposed to be a Christian country in which we live.

A major cover up is taking place at St Albans Council and it goes up right to the very top. Amanda Foley is the Chief Executive of St Albans Council. She was provided with detailed and very clear evidence of repeated and systematic bullying of Civil Enforcement Officers by two supervisors called Mr Marchin and Mr Julius. This bullying has been going on for more than 10 years now but the Chief Executive has repeatedly refused to take any action at all against those two Supervisors who had made life an absolute living hell for all of those poor bullied of officers. Yet if you go on the St Albans Council intranet you will find hidden away there a very glossy and colourful document which basically outlines how St Albans Council will not tolerate any bullying and harassment of its staff. Practice what you preach I say.

Rather than take proper disciplinary of action against those two Supervisors the officers who had made the complaints against them have been weeded out and sacked instead whilst the two bullying of managers were allowed to continue on with total impunity in their jobs. This is the sad and ugly truth about St Albans Council which Amanda Foley, the Chief Executive, is desperately trying to cover up. She doesn’t want the public to know

Just recently a very good Officer has been unfairly sacked. He was a model officer for St Albans Council and had nearly 10 years of service. His crime was that he had dared to complain against the bullying. We wish him well. Even the local MP for the St Albans area , Mrs Daisy Cooper, was presented with clear and graphic evidence of the bullying nearly a year ago. But this MP point blank refused to help. Tis indeed a sign of the times. The Liberal Democrat MP just didn’t want to criticise a Liberal Democrat Council even though her own constituents were being bullied and harassed on a daily of basis. We need to bring back Christian hymns at school.
