Oh please :shock:

Doing your job = unofficial industrial action :left:
The law is there if you want to look it up. The job is defined as what is customary practice, not what it is literally supposed to be. So if everyone who isn't doing their van checks suddenly turns round and does them with the consequence of leaving workload, then it becomes unofficial industrial action. The job is what you make it. The only debate to be had regards classing it as such rests on scale and co-ordination in time and place.
So you're saying there's a law that allows you to drive a dangerously defective vehicle?

Save me looking it up and show me please

I'm not really sure many employees are driving dangerously defective vehicles rather than those with the odd fault. If they are posting about it on a forum isn't going to change what they are doing.
