Before you get itchy feet to sue\n\nPosting requirements vary by statute.  Not all employers are covered by each of the Department of Labor's statutes and therefore may not be required to post a specific notice.  For info on coverage and requirements you can contact the Office of Small Business Programs or check government statutes for your area.\n\nAs for the racial jokes - very inapporpriate.  Discuss this with your immediate supervisor and explain your feelings.  Also be certain to inform your Human Resources department of the incidient.  Does your company have a union?  This might be an option especially if you don't get any results from your supervisor and/or HR personnel.  \n\nYou can also contact the Equal Opportunity Employment Commission and have them check into this matter. \n\nWhatever the case - the jokes need to cease and the company can use a sensitivity training in accepting Diversity.

Technically you would be in breach of contract however as nothing in writing there is very little employer could do. Employer would have to prove they had suffered financial loss and wouldn't really be worth the effort to contest

I think you first must try to resolve the matter directly with the restaurant before you can pursue suing them.  Most businesses would be responsive and would pay your medical bills, maybe a little more.  But in order to sue, your injury must have been significant, or no lawyer would take the case on a contingency basis (for about 1/3 of your award.)  If you sued via paying the lawyer an hourly rate, you would be chancing losing that amount of money.

if you can prove that your employer knowingly created a hostile working enviroment you damn sure can sue.....but it is very hard to prove unless you can get other employees to come forward with similar complaints and facts............like pictures,witnesses etc...\nyou could have them investigated by the authorities and if that proves their crimes you might have a case that way too

Well, first you would have to ask him to stop or complain to his supervisor. In order to sue, you would first have to present your complaint to the EOE, and they would investigate and tell you if you can sue or not. Generally, the company has to be given the opportunity to correct the problem first. Tell him to please not call you "yummy nuts" (which I think is funny as hell). If he persists, then you will have a case.

No.  You really don't have any basis for a legal claim.  The best thing that I can recommend to you is that you contact HR and let them know about the situation and see what happens from there.  The best thing to do though would probably be to look for a new job.  \n\nInstead of asking whether it was your fault, you probably should have calmly told her why the fitting room was a mess and that since you had to leave to help out the front, you will be willing to help clean up the fitting room, but you need some help.  If you do anything to present yourself as being confrontational -- like raising your voice, as understandable as it was -- a lot of managers will react very badly to it.

No that would be the payback for the time you "accidentally" broke my nose.\nHA

You might still have a legitimate claim.  Workman's Compensation not only includes sudden injuries derived from work, but also the exacerbation of an existing illness or injury.  Therefore, if there is something inherent in your working environment that worsens this old injury you would be able to claim.  Be prepared for a fight.  Almost all claims are initially denied because the company knows that this will automatically dissuade a certain percentage of claimants from appealing the process.  Appeal!!  If you are part of a union, have the union lawyer represent you.  Don't give up without a fight and good luck.

If you stole something from you employer, then you can be fired for cause and I don't think that you have a basis for suing them.\n\nYou should talk with the shop steward and see what your union contract says, though.\n\nI am not a lawyer, and you may benefit from talking with a lawyer. Your union should be able to put you in touch with one.

No one unless you are in a union. \n\nSO either \n1) Get a union at work\n2) quit\n3) Take your break and then sue when you are fired over it. That you can do...

I don't believe your employer is able to send you home for being ill unless it is outlined in your employment contract.  If you have sick leave they may be able to send you home. I am not sure. But if they send you home I don't know if they could dock you pay.

YES they can and they have the right to find out.If you are abusive and doing personal things at work,on thier TIME that thier paying you for.they could use it to fire you.NO joke.And also if it's illiegal it could be used as evidince in a court of law. And not even a Union can do anythig about it.because it,s concidered public.It's nothing to play around with.

Yes. If you are out to prove that your injuries were the result of negligence by management, you are going to have to prove that your working conditions and those of other people who have similar job assignments inevitably lead to those surgeries. If however, you are the only one who keeps needing surgeries and everyone else is fine, then management can reasonably argue that you are simply a klutz and incompetence on your part is the primary cause of your injuries.

they can't fire you for an on the job injury regardless of how long you have been there, not only would you get unemployment if they did, but you would have a very strong case for a wrongfull termination lawsuit, in addition you sould seek punitive damages for the injury itself.

Of course, it would be. They can't say anything formally but they will treat her as if she is a liability. Your lawsuit would be against bothe the party responsible and the hospital. While the case was going on they would have to watch what they said and did around your mother as she could be a witness against them. So, yes it would hurt her working environment, at least for a while.
