I am a manager (salaried) in a union shop in KY. In the process of being good at my job, I am the target of false accusations. I have been investigated for several different things involving improper gifts, improper payments directly to me, being a drug user, you name it, I have been accused of it. None of these items are true, nor have they even shown to have any merit during the companies investigation of which I have initiated since I wanted the truth to come out. When these allegations are made, it is through a call center of which no one has to give a name or location just who they are accusing of what. The accuser has to show no proof or anything. My question is this....When do I have any rights to put an end to this besdie quitting my job? Do I have any rights to justify a slander claim if I know the party that stated the initial claim ? Can I file a harassment lawsuit against the union since this has interfered with my job function, not with my employment? Do I have any rights in this matter? I have filed complaints within the corporation with our human resource manager.
