does anyone know employment law....on potential unlawful sacking?

my son told a white lie to have a long weekend with his family-his, and booked 2 days annual leave, the boss who is also the owner of the company was constantly ringing him during that time but my son didn't respond. when he returned to work his boss had obviously been checking on my son's story and wanted my son to sign a statement admitting to this, my son refused. my son has also asked for 2 day annual at bank holiday but the boss has refused again saying that noone else is as experienced as him at that time although this is rubbish. | think he is waiting for my son to walk out.

I think you have a good case for constructive dismissal. The fact that your son had to lie in order to secure a holiday indicates to me that he works under conditions that are abhorrent. Perhaps he broke rules in terms of notice of holiday.
I could understand his boss' grievance if your son was pretending to be ill. However your boss has no rights to check up at all on your son's free time if he has granted holiday.
The statement that your boss asked your son to sign is crucial. Even though your son refused to sign it, do everything you can to obtain a copy of that statement. it is likely to be poorly worded and incriminating to your son's boss. Then look up in the phone book or listen to adverts on local radio and find a solicitor who advertise a no fee no win basis. They are likely to give you a free half hours advice. However when you make the appointment exaggerated your claim otherwise they will not take you seriously. Take anyone you know with you who you trust and feel may understand the law.
If you feel I have been helpful contact me.
