I am new to this forum and would like to say hello to everyone.
I would be grateful for any advice or information with regards to my issue. I work for a big engineering company an am employed as a mobile fitter. I drive a company van which is a lease vehicle. The 4 year lease is now up and instead of the company ordering me a new van, which I have been looking forward to, they have said they would give me used vehicle instead. A used one from their fleet. I was told that they can't order me a new van especially when there old unused ones lying about on site. I have been working on this contract for 15 years and have Tupe transferred three times in that period. The two previous companies I worked for would order you a new vehicle when a vehicle lease was up. This company I am with now does not. They recycle instead. Am I entitled to refuse this vehicle and if so, on what basis?
I am really upset about this as I was looking forward to a new model van. Instead I will be given dirty used one. ( I have seen what they look like) It is unfair because a collegue of mine who does a similar job to me was allowed to order a brand new van following his vehicle lease expiring. There appears to be some favouritism going on as well. Where do I stand in all of this. Should I just put up and shut up, or how can I challenge this?
