I work for a company who relies on agency workers for support. I was recently involved in an accident with one of these temps. I have since refused to work with the guy again as during the accident he failed to and refused to assist me . My employer asked me to hand in a report of the accident, which i did. They handed a letter to me yesterday, in which they have laid the blame for the accident on me and have warned that if i refuse to work with the individual again then it will be seen as unacceptable.
the letter then goes on to inform me that the agency worker involved has taken legal advice regardin what could be seen as defamation of charectar and descrimination, though there are no grounds for this. I enjoy my job and always carry it out to the best of my ability and i am really worried that i am not being treated fairly. can anyone give me advice, i have three children who rely on my income.
do i have the right to refuse to work with someone i think a danger?
thanks.
