hello everyone
i am new here and was wondering what advice you would be able to give to me in regards to the following story
my father works for a cleaning agency and as done so to the best of his ability for many years he has been a loyal servant and his attendance and time keeping are second to none.the agency my father works for has a contract with a business of which my father goes to and performs his cleaning duties he has done this for 4 years or so.everything has been fine so far,but a couple of weeks ago he was waiting on the car park early in the morning for someone to come and open up and was strolling about when suddenly he disapeared down a man hole which was neither visible or signed as to say there was a danger he hurt himself quite badly bruising to his ribs pain in his ribs and legs and lots of bruising had it not been for him keeping one leg above the manhole he would have gone straight in goodness knows how deep as he said his fallen leg had not even touched any form of bottom surface he still has a lump on his leg even now from over two weeks ago.anyway he called on my brother to go to help him as no one was around and asked him to bring him a change of clothes as he was soaked through.when someone did arrive to open up he reported the incident to a member of staff who had him fill in the accident log.he also contacted the cleaning agency to report it also but his manager was away so he left a message with a staff member who said "she was going to pass the message on"my father wasnt happy about the incident but despite pleas from family and friends to take the matter further he decided not to as he was in fear that any sort of stand off against the company hes worked for for four years may turn nasty and find ways of dismissing him.on monday of this week my father got a phone call from his manager at the cleaning agency saying "i have had a complaint from one of the companies you clean for (the one where he had the accident)they have made an accusation that you have been seen smoking in a non smoking area of the grounds"my fathers answer was "ive never smoked in my life i dont even drink"the manager then says "well do you smoke anything else "heaven knows what she meant by thay but my father replied "no like ive said im 57 years old and ive never smoked in my life"in which he dosent he hates the habit.anyway that was that and it got him so upset that it brought him to tears as ive also just discovered that over the past few weeks the manager has been quite intimidating towards him and making his job hard by purposely locking doors he knows my father will need to enter to do his job.anyway ive just received today a phone call from my father today upset because he has just been told that he as been fired from the business he cleans for (.......again the one where the accident occured) he as got to attend a meeting with his main cleaning agency employers tomorrow who have information in a letter from the business he cleans for as to why he has been dismissed but my father cant think of any reason whatsoever he said to his employers "is it because of the accident that happened"and his employer the mananger said"what accident i dont know of any accident"so the staff member he called whilst she was away failed to pass the message on.but why didnt the business he cleans for contact them about this.family and friends are starting to believe that the accident is a big factor in this as they think cctv footage may have been seen and they want him gone before he can make anything of it.but now he is taking this right the way through for what they have done to him.i will keep you posted on events as they happen any help or info would be great sorry its been so long winded
take care
