- reallydontask 7y agoA lot of companies have really poor performance review processes, read non-existent, this can be used to justify almost any firing. In other words: Joe didn't get fired for raising Safety issues, he just happened to have a terrible performance review so he had to be fired. Should the company have good performance review process then it's a bit more complicated but not by much: 1. Employee Raises Safety Issue 2. Fail Perf review # 1 3. Fail Perf review # 2 4. Get put on PIP 5. Fail to meet PIP objectives 6. Get Fired. So, not immediate but can be done in 6 months or less. Not to mention the old trick of making the employees life impossible, etc ..
- cafard 7y agoYes, but quite often the company's lawyers are better paid and have more time than the employee's or the government's. Have a look at NLRB's site for unfair labor practices.
