As title says really, his work has been an ongoing issue for him and it's really been pissing me off over the last year or so. We also live in the UK.

I'll keep it short and sweet. He does packaging and it involves heavy lifting he's the only guy, rest are women. He has to help the women heavy lift when they do their job, has an extra job offloading 40 foot lorries (the women can't do it), does the same packaging job as other said women and has even done maintenance repairs for them. Hes under the same job as these women and is paid the exact same.

He took it up with his manager and he said that it wasnt going to happen and it was because he was just a "resource" because he was a "young fit male". I mean is that discrimination? Im just tired of hearing the shit they're making him do all while the women are coming up with sick notes which has been an ongoing issue in his work but who has to pick it all up? He does. I'm tired of seeing him and his entire life rn be go to work, go home, go to bed. He can't do anything else in his day because he's exhausted.

His work doesn't have a union and their HR is the owner. It's a medium sized company. They do scummy shit all the time. My partner nearly got killed frlm one of the containers because they didn't have the palettes strapped and secured to the lorry so they didn't have to pay as much. And 4 tonnes buckled and fell and pushed him out of the lorry onto the pavement.

He wants to just leave but I don't want them getting away with doing that. We are young and we don't know much about what he can do but it doesn't feel right, we reached out to ACAS but they won't respond. So idk if we are being stupid.
