My husband was arrested at work back in June, work suspended him because of it. He works in a warehouse... he's been bailed twice and now RUI... he's been called into work and now looks like he is losing his job of 16 years as their trying to force him to resign. he pays our bills and mortgage, I'm so anxious and worried, I can hardly work as he would look after our children whilst I worked but he isn't allowed to be unsupervised around them...



I'm so stressed and angry!! Why did the police need to arrest him at work!!! I'm so annoyed at them, if they hadn't then his work would never know. Every time I feel like things are going ok again something else gets in our way...I feel like it's so hard to keep going.

Distressed and pregnant

Hi,

Ask him to call unlock. They may be able to give advice. Is there anything in the contract along the lines of bringing the company into disrepute? They may be covering themselves incase the environment turns hostile. You could also contact citizens advice to ask about any emergency financial support that may be available. Xxx

He has a union and they're getting on to it but it's not looking good as he was arrested at work, after nearly 6 months they are now saying they are worried about the company name looking bad. The union is trying to get 6 months pay off for him to resign. They've said because he admitted to them what he had done in a meeting a few months back that they can't let him back, he only told them because they made him feel like he could open up and be honest and trust them, he even opened up about his mental health which was partly due the fact he was working 6 days a week mostly 12 hour shifts.



it's just one thing after another I'm trying so hard to support him but I just feel so gutted, angry, frustrated!!! This whole process just makes me feel constantly anxious.
