He pushed hubby twice trying to get him to hit him. Hubby never touched the guy. He just shook his head and walked away after telling him calmly to back off.
Why do people want to pick on my husband here. Is it his southern accent? His manners, his weight? Yes he's a big guy but he's 43 years old and had two hernia operations in 2013. So he's slow moving they knew that when they hired him. The HR guy told hubby "You see what I have to deal with everyday." He knows this guy lied, he knows this guy is mean but he can't do anything about it.
Factories here are different then other places. As temp you are put where needed so you don't have a designated machine. There is a very high turn over rate. It's impossible to get hired on full time unless you know someone. It also pays less than other states because you are doing five jobs in one.

I don't know, but Hubby should have fought back, and told HR to tell the guy to PROVE IT. Since it's not a right-to-work situation, and they can't just fire him for any old reason (I mean, it may be a RTW state, but once the guy CLAIMED a reason, your hubby had a right to appeal/fight it), he should have insisted that they make the guy prove that your husband said it. I would have gotten up in their faces and told them to come to your apartment, and see for themselves--right at that minute--that he didn't have any video games like that. And once he'd said that, they would have had to back down on the rest, because he obviously wouldn't have said it, if he didn't HAVE that game, or games like it, at ALL.
That's one thing I was never, as an employee/contractor, able to tolerate--being pushed around or manipulated by liars. Even if I lost, I always fought back. Now, as a "boss" (ha), I take a lot of crap from clients, because I feel worried all the time about making sure that my employees eat--but when it was just me? I'd come out swinging--hard. What's there to lose?
