OSHA



The Occupational Safety and Health Act (OSHA) is a federal statute that is intended to prevent work-related injuries, illnesses, and deaths by issuing and enforcing workplace health and safety standards. Hundreds of OSHA safety standards, covering everything from first aid to fire protection, apply to most federal and private workplaces. OSHA allows employees to question unsafe conditions, request inspections, and file lawsuits to correct unsafe conditions without retaliation.

I quit my job since I did not trust the company because of the way they treated me over the years I
my unemployment benefits where denied for leaving job. How can I win my appeal.
I was terminated from work
While doing my job was going to office to get paperwork signed and turned in then with my back to whoever someone came up behind me grabbed my left arm forcefully and jerked paperwork out of my hand not knowing what was next and fearing to be attacked instinctivly turned and slapped individual and he struck me about 3+ hours later was called to office and sent home eventually was terminated for defending ones self. Also company has not fired people for getting others in headlocks,etc. but I got fired in what I would call a self defence issue I did not feel like I should do nothing and become a victom then could not draw my unemployment because of company.
what do i do if i been denied unemployment twice
They said I was fired on nov.2o 2012 but on my appeal paper it saids I did not show up for work the followin day nov 21 22 23 25 26 but I was all ready fired 
What legal matters can I take against my job if I feel like my raise was based on personal feelings.
I am an overnight employee for a Department store... I been with the company since 10/2011. In 3/2012 I received a 2% increase in my pay and was told that it was based only from 10/2012 until 12/31/2012. After that period I became a top performer, I was invited to a Top Performer dinner twice, I was being developed to become a Team Lead for several months, employee of the month for the month of June 2012. I went above and beyond for the job. A Team lead who I feel has personal issues with me was allowed to do the assessment for my pay increase and gave me a 1.5% increase and said that my attendance had a lot to do with it. I am someone who has no write ups or anything on my file about my attendance or my work performance. I receive a verbal warning in 10/2012 for my attendance and that is all. There are employees that have been on their final notice for their attendance and they received 3% or higher.
put my 2 weeks notice in on May 6, 2012
I was put out of work by my Dr on the May 15 due to illness that was very contagious, I took the manager my Doctors note. The company put my last day of employment May 14, 2013 even though I had 9 days of vacation, 1 personal day and 5 sick days left. I have worked with company for 15 years. I do not find this very ethical. Is there anything that I can do.
