    They can’t fire you, what are they going to fire you for?

    If it goes to an employment tribunal then you simply say “I was not been uncooperative I simply was upholding the rules they require me to uphold, do not touch the grapes without protection.” Now they’re stuck.

    Then the judge slaps them with an unfair dismissal and you get several years wage compensation and the company looks awful in front of the judge. Possibly a safety violation fine as well.

      Lol, that’s not how things work at all, at least here in the US. They’d just say they fired you for an unrelated reason. And if you took it to court, good luck affording a lawyer that can compete with their team, while being unemployed. Extremely unlikely that the little guy wins there.
