Whistleblowing

Corus operates a phone line which allows employees to ‘blow the whistle’ and raise concerns confidentially on any issue that may be worrying them.

More recently this whistleblowing line has been used by individuals to raise concerns around the misuse of drugs and alcohol.

Community supports the responsible use of this service and monitors the reaction of Corus management to each call.

Community has negotiated with Corus on these issues and has in place schemes that can help members with these problems.

Unfortunately the irresponsible use of this phone line has placed your union in a difficult position.

Anonymous allegations that are difficult to disprove targeting fellow union embers have been received which have lead to stressful situations for the victimised member.

Where there is a clear and deliberate abuse of this service Corus has indicated it will take action.
