Workplace Lawsuits

Everyone loved Nathan Briggs. The team loved him. HR loved him. Even the people who'd seen what he did to me loved him. When my one witness walked it back on the stand, I learned what it really means to be believed.

The forklift aisles were too narrow and everyone knew it. When a pallet collapsed and almost crushed a coworker, I filed a report with OSHA. Five days later, I was terminated for 'attendance issues' I'd never heard about before. Fighting back cost me three years and nearly everything I had.

I wore non-slip shoes every shift. I followed every safety rule they taught me. But when six months of built-up grease turned the kitchen floor into a skating rink, my boss looked me in the eye and said it was my fault. The OSHA records said otherwise.
