Problem 2: Protection of a member of staff from unreasonable and improper behaviour and actions

2) As Deputy Vice Chancellor (Deputy Director), Director of Personnel, how would you act if the union reports in writing that one of its members is being subjected to unreasonable behaviour and actions which are having a detrimental effect on the colleague's employment (Dec 1997, June 1998, July 1998, Sept 1998), and also reports verbally on the matter to you when matters are escalating in terms of the unreasonable behaviour towards the colleague (7-9 Oct 1998)?

Would you:

a) request available information
b) set up an informal meeting with those concerned
c) set up an emergency meeting with those concerned
d) adopt the ostrich position
e) take pleasure in seeing how things pan out
f) actively contribute to the misery of the colleague


Please post your suggestions.
