My boss is singling out two individuals and having them do things that are not common to the whole group. They have to account for every minute that they are not driving their bus route. If they have a layover, they have to account for the entire time. When they (alone) inspect their schoolbus they are watched by the boss constantly. This started AFTER a grievance was filed by the one and the other is a shop steward. This boss also singles out these two employees, leaving them out of memos, etc. One gets notes on her hook to wash her bus, no one else does, and nit picks everything. The driver is at her wits end. Does this constitute a hostile work enviornment?

I wouldn't call it a hostile work environment. It is definitely an unfair work practice. I would issue a complaint to your Human Resources dept. Best of luck.

I cant really say since I'm not there first hand. Maybe these 2 just don't demonstrait the rite stuff in their job performance. Or maybe you are right and the boss has a certain bias towards these individuals. Could be race gender or religious thing your boss is hung up on. or maybe he caught these 2 double teaming his wife. Anyway the important thing is that if u think other or yourself are being mistreated report it to whatever government agency handles this type of thing and bring them to justice. I'm sure confidentiality is given to whistle blowers

It looks like he is singling out these employees, but for totally professional reasons. You mention "school buses" so these employees come into contact with children/students.
It is the supervisor's responsibility to insure safety for students and employees. By closely watching the these employees, he is either responding to an observed problem or trying to prevent one.
Remember, the employee doesn't get to determine the boss's actions or company protocol. If these employees are not comfortable with the situation, it's time to consider new employment.

These 2 could be on an performance improvement program and perhaps they need to meet certain standards in order not to lose their jobs. If this done as retailiation to the grievance then the employee has a reason to go to HR.
