What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Tennessee
I have worked for the company for a year and a half. I have never called in sick, I have always came in when they needed me last minute, I have always taken on extra tasks when they asked me to, and I have not done anything to be written up or warned about. I have been nothing but a dependable and hard worker.
Now that I have that out of the way, here is what is going on. About 6 months ago the owner decided to take one of my normal work days away and give it to her son's girlfriend. My husband had been laid off and this put an even more strain on our situation. Also please keep in mind that I am visually impaired and can't readily get any old job i can find. The girl has no disability and can go get what ever job she wants. Now I hear that she is thinking of giving this girl more of my time. This girl is a college student. She could get a job on campus, at a grocery store, or anything else. My husband is still out of work though we spend all the time we can trying to find him another job. Our situation is different than most because he had to be available to drive me unless he can find a job that makes enough that I won't have to work. Not to mention being home with our son who we homeschool. If she does this, we will loose our farm. It will cut our income $480 a month.
What if any action can I take? It is not like the company is having hardship. She just wants her son's girlfriend to have my time. Any help or ideas would be greatly appreciated.
