What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Utah
I'm not sure if this is the appropriate forum so I apologize in advance if its not. Recently a new man was hired at my husbands place of business. This man makes no secret of the fact that he is trying to become part of a gang, and the only thing left for him to do is to "prove" himself by an act of violence. He has made several threats against my huband and other employees in front of witnesses, and carries a knife in his boot without a concealed weapons permit. The managers, and even the business owner, have been made aware of every occasion that this man makes threats, but they have yet to even issue a written warning, let alone anything else to resolve the issue. Aren't employers required to keep things like this from happening in the workplace? What channels, if any, can we go through so that my husband and his coworkers feel comfortable going to work?
