I’ve made the decision not to work but told it’s unpaid, there’s no guarantee if/how this magical 80% will be paid and the company can’t float wages til it comes through. I’m not working as it’s the right thing to do.
If I name and shame it really wouldn’t go well for me. My boss is a law unto himself so lawyering up is pointless.
I actually have a great deal of respect for the man but we’re talking mafiso fear/respect type situation here.Very difficult situation and I can relate. I'm a freelance chippie for a company that last week was not taking this seriously enough. Tool maintenance guy lived with two vulnerable parents, and people were eating and drinking coffee at their benches, not washing hands, used mugs everywhere etc. It was only the intervention of a mid-level site manager refusing to work that nudged the company to shut down. Money and closing contracts has been prioritised over safety and public good.
I was seriously considering contacting my MP, knowing it would mean I couldn;t work for the company again, relieved I didn't have to make that choice. Sadly it might take someone close to them to get sick or even worse for them to take this seriously.
