    To sack you for that reason

    .. I think they would have to explain why they took you on in the first place, or kept you for the time you have been on.</p>

    Was it out of the  blue?, has somebody, say a customer or a colleague or superior complained about your accent? Has anybody warned you about your accent and asked you to improve it?</p>

    If not - that sounds very dodgy to me.</p>

    does seem strange, if they don't want local Dearne accents why did they set up in the Dearne valley with the promise to employ local people? [​IMG]

    can't claim unfair dismissal

    as only been working 4 months

    could claim wrongful dismissal but all he would get is his notice period

    If that really is the case and there is nothing more to it, you ought to go to the Chron, as well as contact YTV, Dearne FM and Radio Hallam newsdesks. Ventura are a disgrace.

    yeah right.....

    i know loads who work at ventura and that sounds unlikely

    was i cos you were:
    late plenty
    sick plenty
