knowing employment laws do not do any good when nothing goes the way it's suppose to.here's the deal,my nephew lands job with Wal-Mart 2 months ago.He has since been coming home with bruise's they are being inflicted by another worker who hides behind a bi-polar issue.perfect hand and fist imprints across his back that last for days sometimes week.The manager says the person will be dealt with but,the person escapes by telling them they are mental so,management won't mess with them so,my nephew is still working next to this person that keeps hitting him and cussing him.Wal-Mart is going to do nothing to an employee that is inflicting injury onto another co-worker(well,physical assaults)So,, any suggestions?I know he is suppose to be protected by law but,Wal_Mart has it in their minds that they can't fire the person responsible for the attacks,which is a total crock,mental disability or not the person knows what they are doing or they wouldn't be able to hold the job in first place.

I'm sorry but he actually started out at 8.50 due to his experience and time he had on his other job,and the fact that he never missed any work.On sundays he get's 9.50 an hour and his ave.o/t has been 22 hours per pay period due to the high turnover rate at this store.

Contact the Department of Labor in your state.
File a grievance with them.

Any physical assault should be brought to the attention of the police department. Take pictures of the bruises and take them to the police. This person will likey be arrested for assault.
