Hi

This is for a newspaper article I'm writing. I've got a difficult task of finding someone (based in the UK) who has been subject to employee surveillance / monitoring at work, for whom this experience caused a lot of distress and who possibly lost his/her job as a result (I don't need to reveal their name in the article). Do you know of any suitable forums out there, where I could post my request for people to get in touch? I've tried some already (mums, dads, redundancy help, jobseekers help etc) but (surprise, surprise!) no one wants to talk to me. This is my first commission for a major national so I really want to do a good job.

Any help whatsoever will be very much appreciated!

Many thanks

Trying putting out a Twitter request using the hashtag #journorequest

Thank you! Have just tried that.

Good luck! It's saved my bacon a few times in the past. Although it is starting to get a bit abused and spammed now, which is a shame.

Afterthought: you should also try one of those anti-surveillance pressure or campaign groups. Not my area and don't have contacts, but I'm sure a bit of Googling will get you there.

Thanks again! Had no luck so far with Twitter, will need to RT. I'm also trying trade unions...

I have retweeted your message, I will do so again later in the day as with Twitter, people only tend to catch what is in the timeline at that particular time, if they are following more than about 40 people.

Much appreciated, Rebecca! It's such a sensitive subject no one's talking to me!

It's strange you're struggling for an anonymous comment - are you emphasising that side of it? I will RT it for you too - I'm @WritersMistakes

Oh, hello AG. Thank you! Yes, I did say in my tweet that I will protcet their identity...

I'd be happy to help if I had proof of what my employer did but I don't and don't want to be sued for libel etc Sorry!
