Legal Advice on Conflicts at Work

Questioner

I have already asked a question once, I did get an answer to this, it was about a conflict with my boss. Because I was afraid that the costs would become too high for me, I did not pursue it further. Then I went looking for volunteer work. It is unbelievable but I ended up with volunteer work in Utrecht. At the telephone helpline, I had a preliminary conversation, but was called by a lady before that time, because my husband had picked up the phone I did not ask for the name. Afterwards it turned out to be Mrs. M. was the wife of my ex-boss, she is a secretary at the telephone helpline. I had agreed that I would call back on Friday. Because I could not get her on the phone, I contacted her via Facebook, after which she called me back immediately to make an appointment, on Friday before the appointment in question it was cancelled and I was not welcome, because I had contacted Mrs. M. via Facebook, I did respond that I did not agree with it, but I left it at that, it is only voluntary work. Still, I do not feel comfortable with my life being greatly influenced by the M family. So once again I ask, is this justified?

Lawyer

If she wants to keep her private and business separate, fine, I can understand that. However, it seems to me that she is also rejecting you because you work for her husband and then she should also keep this separate, and not just say that you are not welcome, without having a valid reason. You can of course ask here why you are not welcome, and could start a case for this.
