Employer Issues No Tags Vehicle
We had a "salvage" vehicle (manager referred to as salvage) with no tags. The vehicle had been sitting there for several months in our lot with no tags. One recent day our manager tells the assistant manager to put a sign in the back window that says lost tags. The vehicle is then driven by several employees to transport customers to various locations. I personally drove the vehicle myself and questioned the manager through an email on why he told the assistant manager that he continuously intimidates to put the note on the vehicle. Two of us, me and the assistant questioned whether the vehicle had insurance on it or not. We received no answer and now the vehicle was given or sold to a "salvage" company within two days of questioning this incident. Is it my responsibility to check up on the company I work for and make sure they are legal. Our trips list the vehicle was driven on the road. I faxed this information to the main company and have heard nothing back. I asked them for proof of license and insurance. I haven't heard anything yet. Two days after I questioned the manager in an email, the assistant manager's job suddenly appears in the help wanted section of our local newspaper. The manager is now on vacation til the New Year. It sounds like the manager is trying to pull a "fast one" all the way around to me. Demotion and coverup. Would like to hear your thoughts. In Ohio

The vehicle is gone, right?
While this was obviously illegal, what gain are you hoping for at this time?

To get rid of the sorry manager!

There are no circumstances whatsoever in which an employer is required by law to fire someone. It is entirely up to the employer how to, or even whether, to discipline the manager. You have no grounds to force them to fire him.
