[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 237433, member: 1550"] Each state is different. Where I lived, if I would have reported it, I would have been fired. In IL and WI they can fire you without any notice or reason. They couldn't say it was because you complained, but they can make things up and you have nothing to stand on. It's really sad. Workers do need more rights. It's ridiculous. The only reason you can't legally fire somebody is due to race, religion or illness--and they can still pretend they fired you for a DIFFERENT reason...and have fun proving the real reason. Yep, I talked to attorneys. It's amazing how helpless the worker in the US really is. The attitude is pretty much, "You don't like the job or how we treat you? Find a different job." [/QUOTE]
