where can i get one, and can i do it online
go to directgov.co.uk and search mate. or contact your local citezens advice bureau
Did you steal a grinder? lol
WTF?
Unfair dismissal is something you would take up as a legal stance, why on earth do you think there would be an "online form" for doing it?! :wtf: lol
You need to look into an employment tribunal for unfair dismissal. The first step is to talk to your employer. Are you part of a union? If not, join one lol

Why do you feel you were unfairly dismissed?

He was saying to me on msn earlier on, that he was being made to drive unsafe and unroadworthy vans, upon asking for them to be repaired (things like brakes being made to actually work) they told him where to go:eek:
Mmm. Can you prove the dismissal was due to that though?
join the general workers and transport union, and defo go see the citizens advice bureau

as said above, my union fee is about £3 a month and the soliceters(sp) are free as long as you keep up to date with the payments, im currently going through the same thing
they told him where to go:eek:
:eek:
Got some strong legal grounds by the sounds of it then!
Not at all!
Unless it was worded as "we're going to fire you because you want us to make our vans roadworthy", and you have witnesses to that effect

that have been informed :thumb:
Oh don't get me wrong, you could get them in a world of poo because of the unroadworthy vehicles, thats without doubt.
However, proving that was the reason you were made redundant is the hard part. Especially since you were made redundant THEN informed VOSA of the dodgy vehicles, it will look like a revenge exercise.
How long were you working there for?

5 years now,the biggest problem is, they were ok, now started to go downhill,
they would not even by some batterys or tyres for the vans, i even ended up taping a 110v lead up as they wont buy me a new one

thats what there trying to say,
she told me to go home wednesday, i phoned up today and said do you want me to come in, she said no you walked out
she wants my letter of resignation, like ****, she sacked me, i did not walk out
dont phone, go in personally and ask for a meeting to discuss your dismisal
also tell them you want it in writing when and why you were sacked

id do exactly that ^ ^ ^ ^
i had similar probs when working at amtrak. they tried to make me drive a van without tax and with the pads that worn that the brakes would just constantly lock up. i almost crashed twice because of it and after the second time and almost ending up in a stream they finally changed the pads
bugger that for a game of soldiers, your the 1 who will end up in court over it all if caught/accident etc
dont phone, go in personally and ask for a meeting to discuss your dismisal

this sounds like the right thing to do then at least you have a leg to stand on :thumb:

Not necessarily, company policy varies wildly on the dismissal/disciplinary process.

lol VOSA FTW, if they deem them unsafe, the company wont have a leg to stand on :p
Dear Mr Baxter ,
Thank you for your email enquiry dated 1st October, 2009 concerning the
above.
Your concerns have been forwarded to the appropriate Regional Intelligence
Unit for your area for further investigation.
thats what there trying to say,
she told me to go home wednesday, i phoned up today and said do you want me to come in, she said no you walked out
she wants my letter of resignation, like ****, she sacked me, i did not walk out
I'd turn back up to work for the time being.
They have not sacked you as nothing is in writing and you have not resigned.

...exactly, and if you argue it, they could turn it round and have you up for unauthorised absence.

I think you need to speak to these peeps http://www.acas.co.uk

Oh, i though that was like the "nationwide" standard un-written way of firing some one so to speak.
Good call NS, gross misconduct is instant dismissal yes.
Try working for the civil service, the only way to get fired outright is to either do a line (on your boss's desk. Whilst he's sat at it lol) or punch a colleague clean in the face.
I've been tempted by the latter a number of times lol
or punch a colleague clean in the face.
Some of our contractors, even that wouldnt get you fired TBH.
Dunno wether thats a good thing though really :eek:
