[QUOTE="PiedmontSteward, post: 1679546, member: 42270"] You cannot be forced to provide a statement but you [B]absolutely cannot[/B] refuse to answer any questions during an investigation or you can be fired for attempting to interfere with said investigation. First Amendment (free speech) and Fifth Amendment (the right not to incriminate yourself via testimony) are greatly curtailed in the American workplace. That being said, no one can hold you accountable for not being able to remember something -- and they sure as hell can't discipline you for "not providing the statement they want." If they're threatening discipline, they need to have a steward present. [/QUOTE]
