Version 1
Version 2
After just over a year working there I was getting a severe pain from my shoulder due to the repetitive nature of the packing job and had to go to the doctor who gave me a two week sick line.
I had a meeting with HR and my deputy first line manager and they agreed that I should go on light duties for that 2 week period.
However on my first day back, they put me on the high speed line as if I never handed anything in and nothing changed at all with regard to me being put on light duties. So this is a breach of your duty of care and trust.
For the next couple of months my manager Kenneth Mitchell did not speak to me at all and so I ignored him. I did not mention this to any other manager but the other workers knew I was in pain and working through it as did the local union Rep.
When the News was informing us of a so called deadly disease sweeping Wuhan, I chose not to believe it and I am entitled to my opinion under the Human rights Act 1998. Articles 9 and 10. Plus the U.N.D.H.R 1948.
In March 2020 we were informed we were to go on furlough.
On returning to the factory in May we were split into groups and told to stand in a circle 6 feet apart as HR explained the social distancing and other measures the company had put in to protect ourselves from a deadly virus. As I had spent 2 months investigating I learned that there is no evidence a contagious virus and that all Covid measures were completely unnecessary I informed the group but this was dismissed without any consideration.
Then came the news that were were to go through a Thermal Imaging Device to determine our temperature with the reason that if it reads high then we were to take a PCR test to determine if we had Covid and had to isolate. There is no such thing as Covid which exists in the real world. None have ever been isolated as per the Andrew Kaufman statement. As I am fully aware of that fact, I did not want to subject myself to any medical procedure for no valid reason.
I told the worker in the portacabin I did not want to go through it but I would be happy to get my temperature taken on my wrist, even though again I know that is a nonsense, I was doing my best to not be belligerent as I valued my job.
He called the head of the factory, to come and talk to me and when he arrived the head of the Union Reps on-site, was passing at that time, coincidentally.
They both tried to cajole me to go through the machine by ridiculing me for my beliefs but after explaining to them for 5 full minute’s that this was not about a virus but about a change of society and control they said to just go through it today and then I could discuss it later.
I said I would go through it one time only, under duress, but only if George came to see me later that day so I could get advice from the Union as I did not agree to be subject to this new medical procedure verbally or in writing and neither of their signatures is on my contract.
For that matter no one who tried to coerce me into doing things against my physical and mental health is on my contract.
George did not come to see me later that day and nor did he even acknowledge my presence the next few times he saw me.
I then got moved back to Deli 4 and was told that from November I would be permanent Porter but in the meantime I had to go back on the line.
During this time management were trying to get us to wear masks, even though it was just snoods at that point. Again, I did not want to partake in this fiasco and do something which is an insult to my intelligence.
I was eventually took into the office , after being caught without a mask for the 3rd time and when I tried to explain my reasons for not wanting to wear one just said ‘I don’t want to hear what you have to say about it, just put the mask on’, so I replied, ‘Ok, but it disturbs me greatly’ and left the office.
Martin Sweeney, the head of Deli 4, also saw me without a mask and I was taken outside for a chat but when I tried to explain to him that putting a cloth over your own face to force you to breathe in your own exhaust fumes as not exactly being conducive to good health, he just repeated ‘Are you refusing to wear PPE?’ over and over again and implying that if I didn’t I would be asked to leave the factory that instant.
I did not sign any contract that said I would wear something over my air passages in order to do my work. I know it is against my human rights and told them that. I still had to put on the mask and go back to work or else they were telling me I would face the consequences. This again is harassment and coercion as of course the wearing of masks is voluntary and not mandatory.
A day or two later I was then taken into a Portacabin with backshift manager in there while they told me I had to comply with the company’s dictates, no questions asked. I was then put back on the line with a mask that disturbed me greatly, with , a worker on the line singing ‘Welcome to the Yes Men Club’.
The next day I brought in a letter stating the governments policy that no-one can be forced to wear a mask if it makes them anxious and so Jason said that was fine.
I was told I could wear a visor instead of a mask and that I had to go and see the Nurse to get an exemption. I don’t really agree with having to get an exemption cause that implies I agree with their policy and there is just some personal health reason why I don’t want to follow the guidelines other than them just being ridiculous but I saw it as my only option at that point.
When I went to see the nurse I tried to talk to her about the virus but she has obviously been well indoctrinated in the medical establishment lies and although she took the website address of me that all this information is freely available onwhatreallymakesyouill.com, I doubt that she looked at it and spent most of the time dismissing my claims without investigation. This is incompetence and a breech of the duty of care.
I also tried to give her the 2 page hand out on the dangers of Thermal Imaging Machines but she refused to even look at it or even take the paper out of my hand. I think we can both agree that is gross negligence on her part.
I discovered something which I believed would strengthen my case that I don’t have to comply with these guidelines and I wanted to talk about it but instead he arranged a meeting with , the factory manager as said this was above his level of comprehension.
I got the sense from the start of the meeting that did not particularly want to be there. I started the meeting by saying that I have been trying to talk to managers for 6 months but no-one actually listens.
I spent at least 15 minutes explaining exactly what a virus is and how you cannot catch one and how he has a duty of care for his workers. I said he should remove all social distancing measures and stop the wearing of face masks as it is all based on false science and will do more harm to the workers than good.
After I finished speaking he said, ‘Well, some people believe we never went to the moon and that the Holocaust was a hoax……’
Basically implying that I was a ‘conspiracy theorist’ and therefore my view was not to be taken seriously and nothing I said was worth investigating.
He then said ‘Perhaps I should start looking for a job elsewhere and asking if I really wanted to work there’.
I felt a bit threatened by this statement but I went on to say that the Nurse didn’t even look at my paperwork for going through the Thermal Imager and that I was ok for the temperature to get taken on my wrists or by another method and he said, ‘Gonnae just walk through it?’, as well as, ‘You still have to wear a mask or a visor indoors’ despite the exemption from wearing a mask which I did get from the Nurse.
Since getting the sack I sent a Notice asking to see where this was written down in company policy that I have to a)wear a mask and b) have to wear one despite being exempt and who signed off on it but received no reply.
So I left that meeting rather deflated, wondering what has happened to people that they are willing to go along with lies without investigation even to the detriment of their own health and well being of their workforce. Again a breach of your duty of care.
After 2 weeks of wearing a visor on the line I handed in another letter stating that the visor also makes me anxious and that if I was made to wear it I would be seeking legal advice. It was very stressful to pack food and wear something that is ridiculous and dangerous. So here again I tried my best to defuse the situation but the effects of which reverberated back to my detriment.
Not long after I was put on the Porters job and told if I could just wear the visor when popping in the factory to put the trays in the bay that would be fine but also to keep wearing it when I had to go on the line to cover, which was quite often. I was supposed to be exempt but they kept forcing me to wear the visor.
As I still had concerns about the Thermal Machine I was putting my wrist on my forehead to protect my pineal gland as I walked through it.
I got a shout one morning to go to go for a meeting with three managers. One showed me a picture of me going through the machine holding my wrist on my forehead. I did not know that would stop the reading from being accurate so I apologised. One said he didn’t believe me as he said I am an intelligent man.
I replied, I didn’t give the reading much thought as I was more concerned with protecting myself but now that I know it did affect the reading I would stop protecting myself. I found it strange he says I am intelligent but then refuses to look at or even discuss my thoughts on Covid and again the fact I am protecting myself shows my concerns for going through the machine.
By this time snoods were apparently deemed not a good enough mask and everyone had to go on to the blue surgical masks. To me this is another sign that the government has an agenda regarding this and I have looked into those blue masks and found some disturbing information too.
However, at the meeting they told me I had to stop wearing the visor and to wear the mask when I pop in and out the factory which caused me stress as I was supposed to have an exemption for it, period.
Other people in the factory were harassing me regarding me wearing no mask while working outside but as I had an exemption from that at least, so I did not listen to them but felt intimidated and bullied by quiet a few of the workers there due to their own ignorance and not being able to research the information I was prepared to give to them because they too are programmed, not least with the radio that pumps out propaganda all throughout the factory twenty four hours a day.
About a week after the Wrist meeting I was told by the gatehouse that I had to wear a mask while signing in and out of the factory to which I replied ‘No problem’.
However, about an hour later I got called into the deli managers office and asked to explain why I had refused.
I explained that I hadn’t refused and then went on to try and explain what a virus is and what the whole game is about but although he said he hated wearing the mask he wanted to keep his job so he does what he’s told.
Another manger asked me what happened the next day and so I told him and said I feel like I am getting attacked and ostracised for just wanting to breathe at my work.
The Factory second in command saw me one day and asked where my lanyard was and I told him I hadn’t been issued with one.
So then I had to go to the canteen and fill out another form begging for my right to breathe. On that form I told them that wearing a mask makes me anxious and if forced it could lead to mental health issues.
I was then issued with a bright yellow lanyard to wear around my neck like a yellow Star of David the Nazi’s made the Jews wear.
As time has moved forward people from the workforce have started to go and get vaccinated and I did ask one or two why because there is no need for any vaccination ever because none have ever stopped any disease. I know cause I’ve done the research.
The unquestioning robots do not think though and some ridicule me for having a brain calling me a crazy Anti-Vaxxer.
My first line manager regularly would walk past me pointing at me shouting ‘You’re getting jabbed’, and ‘You are getting de-humanised’ and also telling me to ‘Get a haircut, Shave my beard’ as well as taking great joy in giving me frights when I am working outside by myself. This is blatant harassment and intimidation.
Everyone in the union got an email from them with an open invitation to call the head of the Union to discuss anything on our minds so I did and told him my thoughts on the virus and what is happening and he listened for twenty minutes but nothing ever came of it as the GMB keep sending me letters about Convid.
When they Government said they were going to start poisoning the children, I called HR to talk to someone about my concerns as no managers were listening and when I asked the hr manager if she had any children, so I could talk about the masks in schools, she said, ‘I can’t hear you very well, I will tell senior management you called, I am going to hang up now’, and she did.
Then when I get to work my line manager takes me into the office to tell me I have been abusing her! I felt like the one abused.
I said, ‘I just wanted to talk with someone about it’
He said, ‘Well, consider yourself as having had a talk to’ and sent me on my way.
I felt like I had no other option left than to not to go through the machine so that I could get someone to look at my evidence seriously.
I went to work on the Sunday morning and told the gatehouse man that I wasn’t going through it. He said, ‘Quite right, it’s a nonsense’.
I then went around the machine and told the guy inside there that I wasn’t going through. He shrugged his shoulders. So I entered the factory and started working.
When in the toilet around two hours later my manager popped his head in to say I had to go to the front office meeting room.
I went in and the site manager said to wear a mask and I said I was exempt.
He then got very agitated asking why am I so special that I don’t go along with company policy. He said everyone MUST obey despite the fact that I have never signed any legal contract saying I would comply with government acts and statutes saying I have to wear something over my nose and mouth to protect me from something I know beyond question does not exist.
He gave me the option to go through the Thermal Imager and if he didn’t he said he would call the Police. I felt backed into a corner and as my requests for dialogue on this matter have not been listened to I said I cannot go through that machine and so I got my coat and was escorted from the site by my manager.
I got a phone call a few days later asking if I would be ok to attend a meeting and that I could bring a Union rep in with me. I explained that I talked to the head of the union and two reps and none of them listen to me so what good would they do me in a meeting as I have zero confidence in them based on their criminal negligence.
I got a letter from the company asking me to attend the meeting and I was being referred to as William Wallace. I don’t know if they were mocking me or if this was a genuine mistake.
When I turned up for the meeting the hr manager asked me to put a mask on! I found this incredible seeing as how they should have known my feeling on this by now and as they didn’t have a visor I had to wait outside for twenty minutes while someone went and got one and again I had put in a letter to say I was exempt from them too.
At the start of the meeting I said I wanted to film it for my own protection and they refused stating that if they weren’t filming me than I can’t film them and so I mentioned Article 6 of the Human Rights Act and they still refused which I believe they have no right to because again I did not sign a contract saying I wouldn’t do that and it is a common law right.
Two H.R managers then asked me what had happened and I tried my best for 40 minutes to explain my thoughts and offered evidence to back them up. They took notes but couldn’t finish them and then sent me them two weeks later. I did not sign these notes as I do not agree with a lot of what she wrote and it said on it that it was not a verbatim record anyway.
They asked if I was likely to change my mind on not being willing to go through the machine despite me saying that I was willing to get my temperature taken by other means. I said I don’t think that I would but that I will think about it as have been without pay since being thrown out the factory and that I need the job to pay my bills.
When I went back to the meeting 2 weeks later I was told categorically that the company are in no way going to look at ANY of the evidence I provided or listen to any of the experts that I can bring to the table for discussion and the bottom line is that I have to go through the machine or be sacked for gross misconduct.
I said surely everyone I have tried to talk to over the past year and a half is culpable of gross misconduct for not investigating serious concerns about health and safety matters.
He said it was a reasonable request and I said it wasn’t because no virus exists and they said even if I decide to go through it the company may still sack me and if I did start working there again I was not allowed to discuss any of my beliefs with other members of staff.
I said I needed time to think about it and agreed to come back in 2 days to finalise the details.
When I woke up the next morning I was feeling very unwell and stressed. I have also been dealing with my son returning from Turkey and my girlfriend who is a type 1 diabetic both of whom I am responsible for and have no means to support them and no money in the bank due to being suspended without pay.
I called my Doctor and explained what was happening and he gave me a sick note which I handed in that day.
I then called the Union Rep and he told me that if I had handed in my sick not I did not need to inform anybody else that I wouldn’t attend the meeting otherwise I would have let them know that I wouldn’t be attending.
I got a call from the HR managers at 12.31pm asking where I was but I told them the union rep told me not to go although they failed to mention that in their notes. I said I was off with stress and they were very determined to get me back in the next day to finish this process.
I said I felt bullied and she backed off.
When my sick line was running out I called the doctor and he said I could pick up another one at 4.30pm which I did but the Work Offices were closed so I handed it in at 11 am the next morning.
At 1 pm my manager and a hr manager turn up at my door and hand me a letter and then thanked me as they walked away. I got inside and looked at the letter and saw that I had been sacked and that I had 7 days to appeal. They gave me the dismissal letter on the 11th August but the letter was dated the 29th July and so the time was already passed for me to appeal.
In the letter it said for my failure to attend a rearranged Disciplinary Hearing or for not putting my case in writing I was sacked. It said I signed for a letter inviting me to do these things. I did NOT get the letter or sign for it so I was not even aware of any such meeting due to take place.
Essentially I have been dismissed when off sick with stress that my experience working with the company has caused. I am still on the sick just now because of these issues
Years later I work as a postman and I met my first line manager in a post office after learning that he’d lost his job, probably after my actions. I said, “Still no covid”.
He just grunted and walked away with his head held low.
Result.
