Re: physically and verbal abuse at work

The boss assaulted your husband. That is a criminal offense. However, your husband's job would likely be in jeopardy for reporting this criminal conduct. The boss would likely get off with probation (or maybe less) and a small fine (if any). Then he would come back to the plant and fire your husband. There is no legal protection for this type of termination. Better start looking for a new job.
