Original Manifesto

Nick Le Cornu

STAND UP TO HORRIBLE BOSSES!

I am a lawyer fighting for employee rights in the Jersey Employment and Discrimination Tribunal.

With your support and vital vote, I can fight for wider social justice in the States Assembly.

_“My boss, the owner of a small Town hotel, promised me time off for 200 hours overtime accumulated during 18 months working in the kitchens. He never paid bank holidays nor gave correct annual holidays. Fed up, I resigned and Nick is helping me to get paid for that overtime and holidays.”_

Chef, 35

_“I worked at the Airport. For 5 months I was harassed and bullied by a male colleague. He tried to seduce me. I rejected his advances and my life became a hell with mental abuse and manipulation. Management refused to do anything about their “golden boy”. I was forced to resign and now Nick is leading my case for sex discrimination and harassment.”_
