" Bummer about the politics. But of course you can go to the police independently and also bring a civil suit for damages. " ...Of course he can. But remember the business he works in. It will not take long before all employers around refuse to give him a job in the futur. The most important thing is that he is doing well | |||

When was the last time you walked into a post office, a train, a bus or a bank where there wasn't a clearly visible sign stating that staff have the right to work without abuse and that offenders would be prosecuted. Personally? I'd be taking legal advice from either the union or independently. Any same business would not want the bad press of turning a blind eye to an assault on a staff member and to turn a blind eye due to a 'business relationship' would be both PR and legal suicide on the part of the business. Don't let either the individual, his company or your employer get away with it - if you'd (god forbid) ended up dead - would they take the same approach? | |||

"Sorry, I had to leave you guys, I'd a doctor's appointment. Now, having seen how some of you have replied, some pointers to consider. At the time of the incident, my colleague, employed through an agency during temporary staffing problems, did not corroborate what happened and didn't want to be involved; he was about as useful as a chocolate fireguard!! Police did attend, but ultimately, with no back-up evidence, it was my word against the guy, whom since has been made out to be holier than thou, not capable of doing such a thing which was totally out of character, blah! blah! blah! At the time, I'd only been with the company 2 weeks, so I was then, still finding my way around my employers and I was an "unknown quantity" to them other than what they'd gleaned via references. Yes, it is all very well some of you going on about taking out a private prosecution, etc etc., but I can't afford that. Even if I could, I'd have to battle against this guy and his corporate back-up. Plus, I have to be mindful of my appraisals over the first 3 months and passing them but not "rocking the boat!" I said I can move on, that is, I mean to another company, who'll hopefully look after me far better; I started my search last week. That's the best damage I can inflict on my employers and keep my job in the meantime." Not that officially there's ANY reason for it, but did you open your mouth or something, not to say there's 0% sympathy here.... But just curious as to how unprovoked all this was? | |||

" ...Of course he can. But remember the business he works in. It will not take long before all employers around refuse to give him a job in the futur. The most important thing is that he is doing well " Sorry but thats absolute nonsense. The one the employers won't touch with a bargepole in that respective industry is the guy who attacked him! Are you seriously suggesting that a man who was attacked in his own workplace by a client and took the matter up with the police will be rendered unemployable because of it. Look at all the 'would you put up with being attacked at your workplace...neither would we' posters up on buses, trains post offices etc. Do you think 'word would get around' and these people wouldn't get a job somewhere else? | |||
