If you haven't already I would get joined to a union, Unite or similar would be your best bet, for the few quid membership would cost you'll get legal advice and be in a better position to fight back and defend yourself - If they fire you for whistleblowing then that's unfair dismissal right there, just don't give them any other reasons they might try and use (timekeeping etc)

Good advice with a caveat, most Trade Unions will not act retrospectively, or they wouldn't when I was Trade Union Representative, so be aware of that fact before you act.

It's worth a try, I'd argue it's not retrospective, it's currently ongoing, hence joining the union to get advice; no different than being nicked and then getting a solicitor, rather than having one on retainer.

You guys are seeming to ignore the fact that things like this cost money to repair. Forget H&S, as Grenfell has proved. They won't do anything, until it ends up on their desk, and then they will try and blame someone else.

Whistleblow @jannadog and or keep your diary safe.

TUs don't see it that way Mate sadly, or the ones I dealt with didn't, Prospect, The FDA and r\the PCS, that's why Union membership is always a good choice, just in case, you just never know when you need help. Boy Scout Motto Be prepared. Wish I had stayed a retired member.

Look forward to your reply Mate good luck don't let the Burgers grind you down, be positive, don't waffle on either, take notes with you and take note for further reference.

As a TU rep I wish this was true ! Unfortunately with the telesales like attitude towards membership numbers they will definitely take you on retrospectively. I can give several instances where a "college" (term used loosely) has join UNI*** and gain their full support despite being a good half way down the disciplinary route. Totally ----ed me off as when they approached me first thing I asked was are you a member ? Knowing they were not, in fact one of them was a complete union hating Thatcherite! Still a phone call and a direct debit latter and in they go. Complete own goal by the unions in my opinion as it ----ed of the paying members of the union that represents skilled workforce.
