So basically to keep this short, i work through a temp agency at a factory where i run a hydraulic press.
I’ve been there about 3 weeks but the day i started i noticed one of the presses were leaking hydraulic fluid on the floor and was told by other employees that management knows about this and they don’t care to fix it.
So monday i went to work and ended up slipping on the fluid that was leaking on the floor from the press, and hurt my back. I let my supervisor know and went to the temp agency to let them know as well.
However, i called in today because i am still sore and the temp agency escalated the case to workers comp (which i didn’t want to do) and filed an accident report along with a drug test.
Now i live in a medical marijuana only state and have my medical card so i of course tested for THC, which i was then informed i probably won’t be able to go back to my job because of the THC. But the kicker is that before i started the job at the factory i had to do a drug test at the temp agency and they marked it all as negative.
So not only did i get hurt because of the companies lack of safety but i now have no job either, because i have a medical card
Very irritating to say the least.
