Hi ,
I started working for a landscaping firm in march to cover for someone who was off sick i was only suppose to be there 3 months but they kept me on because im a good worker etc.
Now an apprentice has started 2 weeks ago only 16 years old and im basically getting the shove in the next 3 weeks or so because hes started and ofcourse its cheaper labour for the company.
Now today ive heard that hes gonna be taken on permanent after his college course is over and yet ive been working there for 6 months and getting nowhere.
I find it an insult im being replaced by a 16yo, im 26.
Could anymore give me some advice towards keeping my job

Sorry - you can't. You have less than one years employment (two now since 6th April) and if the employer wants to get rid of you and replace you with an apprentice, they can. You can't claim unfair dismissal.0
