    This article is very specifically talking about coercive exclusion which is illegal in the UK under employment law. Maybe in other countries too.

      Wait, is it? Can you cite that? I have a friend who recently moved to the UK and had their promo blocked under this rule.

        Coersive Exclusion usually falls under the Equalities Act in the UK and against one of the protected criteria in the act but Nationwide Building Society recently lost a court case against them regarding forced office attendance. I don’t remember the specifics but it may he worth reading up on.

        I will add, I’m no legal expert. My advice would be for your friend to speak to Citizens Advice Bureau or a solicitor to see whether they have a case.
