We are working at an institute run by the state government, although being appointed against a particular post have never been given clear job description and always assigned different roles other than recruited for. The only reason for performing those jobs is a continuous threat of either termination in case of contractual employees or forfeiture of increments, transfers leading to non-performance and therefore termination.
There are two HR Managers in Institute, one has been given most of the HR responsibilities and even estates responsibilities. Given the fact that the said person is paving way only for Administrative decisions for his self interest and having no concern regarding employees. I am myself an HR Manager , I have been encouraging forming of Employees Union, I have been as such given a limited role by the Director of the Institute.
I am for time being acting as General Secretary of the Union and because of that have been transferred as well .Now the president of the employees association is asking me to write a letter to director for providing office space to the union. I am aware being manager hr I cannot be part of any union, however in absence of any one to take the responsibility of General Secretary I have for time being accepted to shoulder the responsibility. There is one apprehension in case I write the letter I may further be transferred to some far off place or my services will be terminated on one or other pretext. Could any one please suggest how to go ahead so that both the issues are addressed viz: office space is requested and job/transfer is saved? A draft letter would be highly appreciated.
