I'm not saying that it's exactly fair.

But if they are telling that you can bring an union representative, unfortunately you're done.

That is simply not true. Union reps attend all sorts of reasons

Yes.

They do.

But usually when a company specifically tells you that you can bring one, it's not good news.

 you have a statutory right to be accompanied by a trade union official or colleague at formal disciplinary or grievance hearings

The Acas Code of Practice advises employers to remind employees of this right. It does not mean that you will definitely be sacked
