i went to the dept of Labour with him & i explained the whole situation-they told my friend to open a case against his boss-then only can the dept intervene.
now, my friend is scared to do this as he says the boss can very easily NOT give him a bonus this year.
i asked about negligence-since there was no harness, safety helmets etc- they said the Bargaining Council is responsible for that-only if & when they issue a written notice saying they are handing over a case tothe Dept of Labour, can the dept intervene.
and it seems very unlikely cos when we went to the Bargaining Councils offie last week, the lady picked up the phone & contacted the bosses wife- from what i saw, they are on a first name basis-this makes me believe they wont do anything to jeopardise a contributing members company.
from what my friend says, the boss has 3 homes on one street-one of these homes is reserved for drinking & entertaining anyone who might be beneficial to him- this includes key people in big companies/projects who are in a position to award electrical work to any company-understand what im saying?
