Should my son be doing anything about this, or just keeping his head down and carrying on doing his job. He doesn't want to rock the boat or cause any trouble, but just wants to move on and get this behind him, which he can't do while the issue of the letter is still outstanding.

As the manager who is there who doesn't like him he should ask for the meeting notes verbally then follow it up with a letter sent by recorded delivery if they still aren't received. Keeping a copy of the letter and the recorded delivery receipt.

Also as he doesn't like speaking up for himself he should join a union but keep the fact that he is in the union quiet. Lots of employers don't like unionised workers and their up most to get rid of them.

The only reason to do all this is that it's now very easy for the company to sack him within the year and if they have a habit of doing things incorrectly then it's quite easy for them to make up things later.

He *still* hasn't been given the letter detailing the outcome of the disciplinary hearing or a copy of the minutes!!

I know he won't want to rock the boat, and he wouldn't take this any further, but I'm interested to know if this behaviour on the part of the employer could mean that the written warnings are not valid? If he were that way inclined, could he request that they were not included in his personnel file?

Or is the failure to provide the letter just "one of those things"?
