Default Re: Was there any disciplinary procedures in British R & TV factories?

Hi!

Quote:
Does the employer have a high staff turnover, Chris?
No, not at all – I have worked there 4 years and 5 months and many chaps much longer – my friend who I live with has worked there nearly nine, he has had a run in with the same manager which was more of a personality clash – he got a suspension and written warning, now expired.

Mine doesn't and can't read one either!

My friend told me there was a much more serious accident involving a large motor started up without checking it carefully enough and a large shaft fixing key was propelled across the workshop at very high speed and enough force to seriously injure anyone it hit – (fortunately it didn't hit anyone!)

As far as I know the employee concerned wasn't penalised for this!

I'm only thankful I've been there long enough to gain unfair dismissal rights, and I'll let everyone know the outcome!

Thank you everyone, for all your kindness and support!

Chris Williams
