NPT’s First ever email to this blog requesting to delete blog

We want to start by wishing the board of directors, 
Ken Barker and the chairman 
Hon Peter Collins a merry Christmas.

On 11 November 2013, we received an email from Gavin Harrison NPT’s HR.(see email here) but basically they want us to give ourselves up so the company may start an investigation because it is against NPT policy to even start caring of what damaging consequences Clyde Scorgie’s behaviour that we are alleged had on NPT staff because these allegations are done by anonymous people/person.

There was also another thing we find very interesting in that email but each person had a different opinion of why (amusing / laughable / ludicrous / absurd). The company have shown that they do not care for the well-being of the staff that have suffered because of Clyde Scorgie’s unethical, abusive, deceiving and manipulating behaviour and while the company will do anything to cover up the truth they demand for us to delete the blog because it is against the company’s policy and most of all the company is concerned that a number of posts on this blog site are detrimental to staffs health and wellbeing. We wonder NPT’s duty of care is it a privilege offered to a selective staff or is it the right of all staff?

Dear Gavin Harrison, 
Do you want us to delete this blog? For a starting point stop wasting time
telling us what is NPT’s workplace behaviour policy and social media policy, 
because history data has shown that some specific staff for years and years 
have been using their social accounts to belittle, humiliate and bully staff 
while NPT was turning a blind eye to this unprofessional damaging behaviour  
but then again we guess the staff that were targeted must had been in the 
bottom of the pyramid for NPT to really care.

Does NPT wants us to delete the blog then they can announce what is NPT’s policy about managers having affairs with their staff and what is NPT’s policy if it is discovered managers have deceived and manipulated the truth about their relationships with their staff plus they can also inform us what part of our blog is not true that is causing damage to the staff well-being or any other legal reason that the blog needs to be deleted so that way we can also try to get a legal advice too if this blog needs to be deleted or not……. to be continue

 

Installation of GPS in National Patient Transport vehicles; were they done lawfully or not?

In 2009 National Patient Transport sent an email to all the staff stating that the company was going to install devices in their ambulance similar to the systems that the emergency service had for the sole use of eliminating all the radio transmissions which would help dispatch jobs faster and to eliminate all privacy issues that a radio transmission can cause. The first step they claim was going to be the installation of the GPS tracking device followed by the rest of the system.

Because of their claims why they had to install GPS (been part of their operational requirements) they felt they never had to ask for our express or implied consent neither did they ever notified us of our rights under the privacy laws. They just force the placement of the GPS on their ambulance.

Looking back from 2009 until now that system that the company supposedly meant to install never happened, instead they maintained a GPS system that was solely kept to track and control the position and movement of their staff. Did you ever get a phone call testing your honesty and trying to catch you on a lie of your whereabouts while they were monitoring you on the GPS system?

Did you ever felt you were harassed by Mr. Clyde when you were approached or when you received a phone call or when you were sent an email questioning your honesty because he felt the information he obtained from the GPS were telling him a different story?  Did you ever believe the GPS system was used against you as a weapon to intimidate you and harass you? Did you ever had a running with Mr. Clyde and then no long after you were intimidate by getting asked to please explain against the GPS information?

8 Regulation of installation, use and maintenance of tracking devices

 

(1)   Subject to subsection (2), a person must not knowingly install, use or maintain a tracking device to determine the geographical location of a person or an object—

Penalty:

In the case of a natural person, level 7 imprisonment (2 years maximum) or a level 7 fine (240 penalty units maximum) or both;

In the case of a body corporate, 1200 penalty units.
