[QUOTE="PiedmontSteward, post: 2021894, member: 42270"] Very unlikely, but we don't have all the details here. If someone runs up at you at work and starts kicking the :censored: out of you, you have a right to defend yourself. The "right to defend yourself" is essentially doing so until you can GET AWAY from the situation if you're in IMMEDIATE PHYSICAL DANGER. Someone throwing boxes at you - while serious - doesn't justify physical violence in the workplace as the employee has "an opportunity" to flee. Regardless of the circumstances, as he's somewhat culpable there's a good chance he'll be out a while. These things can't really be worked out on the "shift manager/steward" level anymore due to legal reasons. [/QUOTE]
