I'm unsure of whether I have any sort of case here but...
Hello ****, I understand your concern. Could you please provide more specific details about the situation? This will help me give you more accurate information. Also, your location would be helpful as laws can vary by jurisdiction.
My daughter was punched at work (McDonald's) by her 'friend'. The friend went to management and told them my daughter said something to her, but what was said was at school not work and it was joking between friends or so my daughter thought. My daughter and the other girl are currently suspended from work.
Hello ****, I'm sorry to hear about your daughter's situation. Could you please tell me which state you are located in? This would help as labor and employment laws differ from state to state.
