Re: My question about unfair dismissal

a burn hole in the seat of a company vehicle

I keep reading that as "a bum hole in the seat...".

It might be suitable for a driver with itchy piles. :rofl:

Re: My question about unfair dismissal

Even though that lift platform has a fairly narrow track with the wheels not extended, it is difficult to understand quite how it might tip beyond 45^o when negotiating a corner at only 10mph. Was there some defect in the bearings or was the road uneven or sloping?

Re: My question about unfair dismissal

Yes, I understand now - the turning moment on the lift platform was the result of the camber of the road as much as the towing direction.

Had you been instructed to extend the wheels before moving the contraption?

no training of towing anything have grandads rights C1E on license.
told you have entitlement to tow: SO JUST TOW ! :boink:

in the 2 years i have been there i only towed this model twice the first time the wheels were already extended
so it towed fine.

Re: My question about unfair dismissal

how so by doing so I may have burnt :flame:a hole in the seat.
not that i had

So,,they don't have to prove you DID....you now have to prove you DIDN'T

You smoke
A hole (looking very much like a cigarette burn hole) has appeared in a cab you were driving
You've told them that you leant on that seat with a cigarette in your hand and you MAY have burnt the hole

Their assumption that you were actually smoking in the van couldn't be substantiated,which is good,,but without thinking (and we are all guilty of doing this at times) you gave them another reason.

Re: My question about unfair dismissal

you gave them another reason.

did they need one i think they made up their mind from day one :colbert:

but i am asking the forum if the way they handled the meeting to be unfair by moving the goal post.

Then, if anyone needs a Health and Safety reprimand, it's your foreman/supervisor/manager!

It obviously was.

But where was the hole in the seat? Was it on the part on which one sits, or on the back of the seat?

that i don't know as i was never shown it or any pics of it :noidea:

Re: My question about unfair dismissal

Then you don't know if you did it, or even if there was a hole burned in the seat.

What sort of covering did the seat have - leather, cloth or plastic?

Re: My question about unfair dismissal

So they disciplined you and dismissed you for a hole in the seat that they alleged was you, yet they provided you no evidence of the hole at all. They should have presented photographic evidence prior to any meeting to allow you chance to review the evidence and prepare a defense.
