[QUOTE="Southwestern, post: 955530, member: 33209"] Due process isn't that quick. I assume you attempted to press charges, but your local authorities choose not to pursue the matter? Your sole option would be to contact an attorney. My guess is that this incident will be [U]perceived[/U] as a minor incident that you overreacted to. Thus, you may have difficulty finding an attorney willing to take up your case. Ultimately, you'll likely prevail but it'll likely take numerous phone calls. And it may not be pro bono. Here's the reality of the situation: After a long & frustrating search, you find an attorney willing to take up your case pro bono. UPS, eager to make this case go away, offers a small settlement. Your attorney accepts - and keeps much of it. Ultimately, you receive less than a few months pay. (Of course, you could have a large, successful case... but I presume your fellow co-workers have defended your boss, so I wouldn't expect it.) And FWIW, unemployment compensation is "awarded" when you lose your job through no fault of your own. You [U]voluntarily quit[/U] because you refused to continue to work with your boss. You're not entitled to UC. Odds are UPS will fight your claim as long as they believe you're likely to sue them (and collecting UC could hurt your legal prospects). Good luck. [/QUOTE]
