Yeah get a lawyer to make them turn over footage and the two of you lawyer up for a lawsuit
Call the police and request this person be charged with assault.
Also maybe see an attorney, if there were injuries and your employer knew this could be a problem because y’all complained about it, they might be negligent and responsible for damages
If the other person was fired then no you got nothing. Most places have policies against violence. They can and often do use those policies against people defending themselves as well as the aggressors. If the attacker was not fired you have a something to take to the labor board.
File a harassment claim with the EEOC. Your employer was responsible for providing you with a harassment and violence free workplace. If they didn’t and you have proof of multiple reports the EEOC would like to talk to your former employer.
Also obviously you and your coworker need to report the violent employee to the police for assault.
Sue the ever loving shit out of your former employer. You have witnesses. Your employer did the dumbest thing EVER by firing two people who knew the truth. One person alone was weak without the other, who probably would not risk their job to testify. But two?
Lawyer up immediately. Sue your employer for firing you, for employing a violent felon after many warnings, for you being attacked, etc. And sue the guy who attacked also. Seriously.
Stay calm at him. Don t take revenge.
if you do it the way I did in a similar situation, you ll have to figure how to pay for a lawyer in timeframe that don t let you get the money from work.
As others have said, you need to get a good attorney, *now*.
Wtf, is this USA?
“I was fired for pulling him off”
Understandable if in view of everyone……
“My coworker”
Oh right, you shouldn’t have been fired
I’m British and this had me confused until I read it all lol
Get. A. Lawyer.
Have coworkers gather evidence of them lying for your upcoming lawsuit
This is pretty textbook hostile work environment lawsuit.
Get a consultation with a lawyer because this may well be worth it to pursue.
I was threatened by a meth addict at work who made it his mission to create a hostile work environment. he was apparently tighter with the boss than I was and I got fired when I reported him threatening to attack me for no reason. I immediately called OSHA and the Dept of Labor and reported it. I won and the company had to pay me for lost wages (I was at a new job in exactly 3 weeks).
Call the cops. And file a report. Press charges. Then talk to an unemployment lawyer about your company creating an unsafe work environment.
Congrats on winning the lawsuit
You’re about to become wealthy
