I Am Ruth Campaign – Justice4Ruth
The right to work and to be treated fairly and consistently in accordance with policy and procedures is a fundamental right in the UK in the 21 st century. We all have the right to work and earn a livelihood in an environment that is respectful and free from discrimination's. When the policy and procedures are not applied fairly and consistently then discrimination's, victimization and inequality are experienced.
The current issue began a few years ago when Ruth began representing her colleagues at work as a colleague representative while working at TESCO Ponders’ End Extra Store. Some Tesco managers did not like the fact that she successfully challenged unfair decisions in support of her work colleagues.
Some of Ruth’s work colleagues refer to her as “People’s Mom”
- Ruth raised a grievance
- Ruth’s grievance was never heard
- Ruth challenged the incomplete grievance, + other breaches of Tesco policy and procedures as well as unfair
- and inconsistent application of Tesco policy and procedures
- Ruth was invited to a meeting with the store manager
- Ruth’s representative had a planned 2 weeks absence away from work
- Ruth apologised to the store manager for not attending the meeting without her representative.
- The store manager went ahead with the meeting in Ruth’s absence and dismissed her
- The store manager never interviewed Ruth’s witnesses although the names were given to him in advance and made a decision without all the facts before him.

The momentum behind this campaign is a testament to the shared belief that fairness in the workplace is not optional. Your collective action demonstrates that people will not remain silent when they see an individual treated unjustly by their employer.

Yes ruth helped lot of people Un conditions. She didn't take any money from anybody. Even late night she attended our meetings to protect us. Now our time to protect her and show our support to her. Let's get together beet this matter.
I agree we must speak with one voice and stand against the bullies working for Tesco. I have worked for a number of years at Tesco myself and am aware of this sort of behaviour. Good on you Ruth, stand up against the bullying, we stand with you.
knowing Ruth personally, and being an x employee of Tesco my self, I believe from the time I have been working there, that that the managers did not like her and was trying to some how dismiss her for years, because she is a threat to them,being 1 of very few who will challenge and stand up to the senior managers about the unfair treatment, bullying and abusing rights of Tesco staff, it is about time we kick out this attitude of Tesco Managers which is_ follow our way or its the highway.
I have known Ruth as a totally professional person, honest, hard working and absolutely dedicated to work place justice and safety. I believe that she is now being victimised by Tesco for empowering, mainly female, workers!
Being an employee who has also faced discrimination and breach of procedure from this same employer/company, I am more than happy to sign this petition. It is unpleasant to see employers/ managers use their authority as a mechanism to treat employees like Ruth unfairly and furthermore discriminate against them. Something needs to be done! I am glad to see steps being taken to challenge the unfairness at work and I hope Ruth gets the justice she deserves! Justice 4 Ruth has all of my support.
I hate injustice.
Well here we go again what is it with tesco always taking the p with GA.

Whenever there has been injustice, Ruth has helped us receive justice. She stood by us strongly when we became victims of discrimination and bullying at work. When Line Managers and Senior team members were not willing to listen nor help, it was only Ruth who gave up her days off and family time in order to support us. If following the employment law and procedures correctly is a reason for dismissal then what is the point of having such laws in place? Ruth defines humanity. Ruth deserves justice.
