Dear=20 Sir/Madam,

I was employed as a Depot = manager=20 for the Society of St Vincent de Paul for a number of years.           &n= bsp;           &nb= sp;           &nbs= p;            = ;        =20

 I resigned from this position = in May 2004=20 because the following reasons.

I was consistently = harassed by the=20 administrator Mrs Maree Fell over issues I had no control over.=20

The normal procedure was = for, and=20 had been for many years, that the depot manager would take home the = depot=20 vehicle in order to pick up volunteers and donations if need be, while=20 travelling to or from work. With no reason or explanation Mrs Fell = contacted me=20 at work to inform me that I would no longer be allowed to drive the = vehicle=20 home. Rumours were began and circulated among other staff members and=20 volunteers.

 

These rumours were = concerning my=20 sexuality, and so I should not be working for the Catholic=20 society.

 

 I took legal advice and a = letter was sent=20 to one person who I knew to be involved in these matters. However it did = not=20 stop.

 

Mrs Fell would fail to = give me=20 enough notice of pending meetings or time to compose a report for a = certain=20 meeting, and then embarrass me by making remarks about these issues in = front of=20 other staff and volunteers.

 

Eventually I refused to = attend=20 meeting with Mrs Fell or the Diocesan President Marc King without my = union rep=20 being present.

One of the volunteers = signed and had=20 witnessed a Statutory Declaration stating he had witnessed two staff = members=20 speaking about this issue and then repeating it to a volunteer; this was = given=20 to the administrator.

 

I attempted to have this = matter=20 dealt with by the Diocesan President Marc King, with no response.=20

 

I had several days off = work because=20 of stress, twice I went to the hospital as a result of blood pressure.=20

This constant intimidation = and=20 harassment eventually reduced me to such a desperate state, that I very=20 seriously considered suicide.

I was so depressed that I = purchased=20 the hose pipe and tape in order to kill myself in my car. =

 

I had also saved up = sleeping tablets=20 that had been prescribed to me.

 

At about this time I had = found=20 another job, and so handed in my resignation to the Diocesan President, = he asked=20 me to reconsider and prayed over me, which I did but when I returned the = next=20 day the administrator said it was too late my resignation was accepted.=20

This was said to me in an=20 intimidating way.

To my knowledge the = Statutory=20 Declaration and my attempts to address these issues were never taken any = further=20 than the Administrators office.

 It is only now that I am able = to tell my=20 friends of my contemplated suicide, and feel mentally able to address = these=20 issues.  A friend of mine = has=20 recently told me that the Diocesan President Marc King, had said to him = that he=20 wished I would leave, as he didn=92t want me in this job. This statement = was made=20 well before my resignation.

I have copies of letters = of support=20 from volunteers, union rep. and the Solicitors letter. =
