Hi Everyone
This is my first time to the website.
This is my situation.
I work for a company that owns commercial RealEstate as in large Malls and office buildings.
I work in the grounds crew/maintence department taking care of the outside and inside of one of there malls.
I was called into the office recently and told it's come to there attention that I buy and sell residentual houses and that when I started with the company that I signed a form stating that if I ever have any other outside employment that I have to disclose it to them and that they have the right to decide if my outside job will be considered a conflict.
Here is the letter that they want me to fill out that i'm having second thoughts about filling out because some of my coworkers claim this is the form they use to get rid of someone if they want to get rid of them which I feel they do because my immediate supervisor and I don't get along and some of my fellow coworkers have over heard him say to upper management which he is close friends with that he want's me gone and the real kicker about all this is that we are a Union Shop and the supervisors are covered under the Union Contract and the company has told me that our Union Business Agent has told them that there should be no problem with me having to fill out the form which I feel other wise because I for 1)have never bought or sold a single home yet and in a sence I'm really not in business because I've never applied for a Business License or anything like that yet.
Also by the way even though I have cards that say WE BUY HOUSES I have never handed any out to customers of the mall or any store employees but I have given afew cards to fellow coworkers who wanted to know more about it meaning wanting to get free knowlege on how it works.

So if someone could please give me advice on what I should say or on how to say it to them to get them to leave me alone about this because i'm afraid that if I say I'm not in business they'll say yes I am because I have Cards and then fire me for lying and if I say yes they'll fire me because they'll claim it's a conflict of interest which I don't see how because they deal in commercial Real Estate and the other is I can't see how the union can say yes to the companies request when I feel the union should be helping me by saying no that he doesn't have to fill it out because we don't want to see him be messed with.
Thanks ahead of time for any help and advice anyone can give me on this situation and i'll keep you all up to date on what happens.
