Thanks for the replies all, appreciate you taking the time to do so. Well i decided to have a stroppy day when the O/S markers wouldn’t come on and went into the office to have a moan about them. I got a fair old mouthful from the boss about “It’s getting sorted!” and was told basically if i didn’t like it, then go home and they would find someone else to drive the truck!. I asked for that in writing and his face kind of went greenish. I stood my ground and the outcome was that i ended up jobless! “dismissed during my probationary period due to unsuitability for the job” is the official line so I went straight to the jobcentre who basically told me where to get off as i had made myself unemployed so it’s in the hands of a solicitor now. The numerous pictures and photocopies of the daily defect sheets are on their way to VOSA too so i hope the whole company takes a dive as its all they deserve! Incidentally, the truck passed me today in the street and it STILL has a broken tail-light!
you need to make your solicitor a where of this and get the JC to put that in writing as they should investigate this and not just blame you , good on you for standing ur ground fella just a shame more don’t
