ive worked as a casual warehouse worker for the last 2 years. my company was seriously lacking in a lot of safety issues. I am the forklift driver that has to load all the trucks and they have no chocks to block the wheels of the trailors. I asked every month this year to get them by the winter time or I would have to refuse loading the trucks cause it is unsafe. Well winter is here and they still haven't got them so I refused to load a trailor and they fired me saying my attitude doesn't meet their standards. this is just one of the simple safety concerns I brought to their attention. my company is a welding shop no one wears safty goggles. only half the people wear proper shoes for a warehouse they hire illegal employees. all the welders are not properly covered. anyone walking in the warehouse gets flashed by their tourches all day. our owner orders regular propane for the forklifts cause it is cheaper despite the fact I told them regular propane should not be used inside a warehouse its for outdoor use. the marathon propane is specially designed for indoor use. not a good idea to drive a forklift in a warehouse that6 leaks propane inside the building with 30 people burning their welding torches burning. I was not offered any type of severance or given any warning that I was being let go it was just a surprise attack that I got today for refuseing to load the trucks. my question to you is, is there anything I can do about this.
In this case you were wrongfully dismissed and you are entitled to severance. I would encourage you to visit the severance pay calculator our firm has developed to see what you are owed (www.SeverancePayCalculator.com).
