I was hired as a driver. Been with the company 33 years. On modified duties. I feel I am being penalized for getting hurt on the job. I have requested no retaliation for being on modified duties. I was sent out to sweep up goose poop which is done by an outside company, I feel this regional manger has done this out of spite, tries to disgrace and humiliate me in front of my peers in order for me out of frustrations to go back to my regular job. I filed a formal complaint on this person but my fears will be retaliation not only through him but his supervisor under him. I have never been through such vindictiveness as this in my years with this company I love my job, I believe I am a model employee who comes to work on a daily basis very rarely late, 110% to the company and this is the way I am being treated. I feel what he has done to me is wrong as for the years of my experience I have never seen or heard of anyone on modified duties be made to go outside to sweep up goose poop when we have outside contractors to do this job. I am under the federal jurisdiction as we are unionized workers. A formal complaint has been submitted by me. Investigation is under way I have as yet heard the outcome as to how the company will handle this situation. What happens if retaliation continues through other supervisors under his directive. What do I do if they are trying to get me to quit? I am concern over this as this person is the regional manager of this company... I feel he may use his authority to continue with this type of behavior. Please advise.
As a unionized worker your only recourse is through the union channels. I am sorry that we cannot help you.
