I filed a claim with OSHA about my place of employment being unsafe. I chose to excercise my right to remain anonymous. OSHA then sent a letter to my employer stating the allegations. However at the top of this letter, OSHA put the company name with my address under it instead of the company address, thus revealing my identity. I feel my rights have been violated. Is this grounds for a lawsuit or any other legal action? Please answer if you have legal background. Thankyou

i have recently been dismissed from my job because there was some money that went missing and they blamed me even though there was a possibility of about ten people that could have commited an offence.they had no evidence to incriminate me they just said that on the balance of probability that i had done even though i have not done anything wrong. i had worked for them for four years and i was one of there most trained and respected members of staff.anyway they had me arrested for this "offence" and the police cleared me of all charges because they had nothing that they could find to incriminatye me and i provided them all bank details and phone records etc to help with the enquiry. however the employer sent me a letter confirming my dismissal and they had originally alleged three things against me but this second letter confirmed that i had commited the offences even though they could not prove it. there has also been a member of staff telling everybody that im guilty do i have a case

I have always been aware that all the aid that we Africans receive from the west are not used for what they are intended, however after watching Living With Corruption this morning I realise the problem is much worse than I thought. Can you imagine a situation where the government officials in African countries who receive good wages are syphoning all the aid from charities and western governments to foreign accounts sometimes to the tune of $5billion? Even worse, things are so bad that to get aid, some people are having to bribe the government officials to get wut is theirs, children have to bribe their teachers in public schools to get their papers marked and so on and so on. The west have been in my opinion very generous in their donations and cancelling a huge proportion of our debts, however they don't really have a good understanding of the way the continent in general operates, hell I lived in Nigeria for the first 16 years of my life and I was unaware of the runnings.

My sister met her boyfriend in 1995 and in 1996 they were married.
He was a cop and he bought her a $4000 engagement ring.
I heard later that he received the money doing something corrupt.
ie tipping off someone.
Then when they got married, she seemed to have lots of nice jewellery and clothes and was always getting her hair done.
Once she even boasted - "look at this 9carat gold ring my hubby has bought me".
After his charges this year(about 12) i think, one of them was receiving stolen jewellery.
Would my sister have known or would she just realise this is how much her husband earnt?
I remember they were always going to posh motels and staying their weekends.
Once I asked her, "Wow, how can you afford this" and she
said, "my husband works hard".
He has since been charged, but do you think she would have known
about his corruption 10 years ago?

I've been following the story of the guy who threw a snowball at a fellow workmate and is being charged with assault. Now I find out that he is also being charged with sexual harassment for brushing his hand on her behind.

I've had my behind brushed and never thought of it as sexual harrassment.

What is the world coming to?

Ok, so ive worked at subway for about 5 and a half months now, and we just got a new mananger about 3 weeks ago. There are like 7 other people who work there, but only about 3 people work at one time(in a day). At the end of the 2nd week that we had our new mananger, $30 dollors went missing. So everyone working that day had to pay $10. We only have one register, and before we ring someone up, we have to put our own number into the computer, so that we all know who was on the register. We have 3 cameras above the register, and 4 around the store in other places. But what i dont get is why we have cameras if they cant look back to see who took the money??? We just automatically had to pay?? Im 17, making $6.60 an hour, so thats an hour and a half of my time, just given to thm because someone else stole some money,... i cant see that being fare. $10 might not seem like much, but is that not crappy that they have 3 cameras but wont even look to see who really took it?What should i do

I am writing a blog regarding a million bad experiences I've gone through with a cat breeder. I have left out the breeder's business name to protect myself but I think that people should be aware that this is a bad breeder. If I were to mention the business name in my blog, would this be slander/defamation/libel? Here is my blog in case this helps:

I am preparing one of the practice questions in the hopes it will be on the test - the situation is:
State X enacts a law which provides that unless the US Govt. determines otherwise, all sales in X of goods made elsewhere are subject to a Tax. The tax = the difference between the labor cost that would have been required to produce the item in question if it were manufactured in X and the labor cost actually incurred.

I need to set forth all plausible arguments to the effect that the tax is unconstitutional and evaluate those arguments.

HELP!!! I am going to be pulling an all nighter with this and any help would be appreciated!

Call me crazy but I took a left and didn't ssee a car coming, so when i finall did see it, the other car must have breaked, but i speed away. so there actuall was no accident, but close to one.
but then the next day, i see the same car on the side of the road as i was passing it, and it seemed like they were waiting for me to write down my license plate or something, because after i passed it, they started to drive again. there's no chance that they can report me can they? Since there was no accident, but i just may have caused a whiplash for them since they may have had to hit the breaks hard?

I work for a daycare center that is a pretty big chain. If a teacher is nearing overtime because they made you stay one day really late, they make you take a really long lunch break, like 2 or 3 hours, and then come back. Sometimes they do this three or four times a week. My question is, can they do this? If your scheduled time is 7-4 with a one hour lunch break, and you work until 5 one day, is it legal for them to make you take 2 hours lunch one day to "catch up"?
