To make someone work for 15 hours and 47 minutes and then expect them back in at 3.00am in a morning after only being back at home for less than 7 hours is more than a p I s s take, it’s dangerous.

The pressure on staff to suck it up and shut up is unacceptable.

My lad feels like the writing is on the wall for him now and that his employer will find a way of getting rid of him in the near future.

These power trips by company owners really f u c k me off, f kin control freaks and power crazy and it’s the poor b a s t a r d working his nuts off to provide for his family who suffers or the people he hurts in an accident.

I gather that my son himself can get points on his licence and worse if he’s caught doing these hours.

So you can’t win, you get sacked for not breaking the law or in trouble with the law because you’re scared about your job!?

Totally agree with you Mick and feel for your son. From experience with my own son and seeing other cases - once you complain it’s the writing on the wall. So wrong and disgusting!

I know from you that your son has been doing so well so I feel for him. Might be best to tell him to toe the line for a while and start looking at other jobs/opportunities. As you will know - it’s always easier to get another job whilst your in a job.
