Pennsylvania warehouse employee reports safety issue, then gets job title quietly changed by HR as punishment: ‘I never signed anything’ – FAIL Blog

Several members of this online community made astute points in response to the Pennsylvania worker’s predicament, so we’ve included a few of these comments below. Some important things for the employee to consider begin with the question of whether or not he is a part of the union. If he is, then he should feel protected while pursuing legal action against upper management. If he is not, he still has grounds for suing here, if that’s the path he wants to take. 

What’s most important is that he keeps a thorough list of grievances and receipts, starting with his initial HR complaint and any written acknowledgment that he was given a job change without his expressed approval. He should also continue to document any and all safety violations that continue to occur. More evidence will only help build a case against these guys.

Of course, he does not have to sue them if he doesn’t want to. However, he should plan his exit immediately. Nobody should be asked to operate machinery without proper certification. Someone can, and likely will, be negatively affected by that mandate.
