A nurse in Scotland, Sandie Peggie, has claimed she felt "discriminated against" by her trade union after raising concerns about being required to share a female changing room with a transgender doctor. Peggie, who worked for NHS Fife for over 30 years, previously won a partial victory in a tribunal in December 2025. A judge ruled in her favor on a harassment claim against the health board but dismissed her claims of discrimination, indirect discrimination, and victimisation. Now, Peggie has started a new tribunal, this time against the Royal College of Nursing (RCN), accusing the union of not supporting her in her original dispute. The RCN has denied the allegations. During the first day of the new tribunal, Peggie provided evidence that she first approached her RCN representative, Stuart Fraser, in January 2024 after being placed on special leave by NHS Fife. She told the tribunal that she felt Fraser believed she had done something wrong to be disciplined. Peggie said Fraser was "non-committal" in their initial conversation and did not seem to agree with her stance that Dr. Beth Upton should not be allowed in female changing areas. She said she felt unsupported and that she was being discriminated against, though she admitted she did not express these feelings to Fraser at the time. By February 2024, she said she had "lost faith" in the RCN because Fraser had not mentioned legal support in their earlier conversation. Peggie also described the context of her original tribunal claim, noting that there had been "general chit chat" among NHS Fife staff about Dr. Upton using the women’s changing room at Kirkcaldy’s Victoria hospital. When asked why no colleagues had supported her case, she suggested that fear may have played a role, as she had been treated poorly by senior staff at the hospital. Peggie also claimed that the union refused her request for legal support in January 2025 and did not adequately support her when she asked NHS Fife to commit to ensuring changing facilities were single-sex. She argued that the union discriminated against her due to her "gender-critical and sex realist" beliefs, stating she felt unsupported because she believed she had been discriminated against. Peggie has also appealed the decision from her original tribunal, and that case is expected to be heard in the first half of next year. The current tribunal, held in Dundee before Judge Melanie Sangster, is expected to last seven days. The outcome of this case could have implications for how trade unions handle disputes involving employee beliefs and workplace policies.
