Coca-cola consolidated union steward threatens employee while using ableist and homophobic slurs

I've been working at coca-cola consolidated for about six months. since working here I've been spit on by an employee and discriminated by age, sexual orientation, and mental capability also threatened by a union steward to spit on me again. I was told nothing can really happen because I can't complain about a fellow union member is this true they literally protected him from 3 of the 4 biggest discrimination. Age, sexual orientation, and mental ability. How isn't this a possible lawsuit any help or advice would be appreciated. (ohio)

Dear USPS

No amount of changing or “fixing” your lobbies, prices, workplace presentation, and performance standards will fix the fact that you lack good structure and respect in the workplace. You perpetuate a poor culture by being complacent. This has been one of the most damaging, toxic places I've ever had the privilege to step foot in, and I'm in a really good office. No matter who I meet who has worked for and currently works in USPS, there is always a unanimous feel of despair or anger towards USPS. The only one's who soak it up and enjoy it are from a time before us, or they are the one's who participate in creating a toxic environment. It's rare to find someone who is even 90% happy they work for USPS, who is not a narcissist, bordering a narcissist, or who is trapped feeling like they have “to just deal with…

Why not switch jobs?

Why do people languish in the same shitty job for so long? How come people aren’t constantly applying for new jobs while they have an income in search of something that pays better? Zip recruiter is a very efficient website. I recently found myself without a job as I quit my job of 4 years making 76k for one that seemed much better making 89k plus a yearly discretionary bonus of 10-15k plus all my gas paid for and other perks. The job I had was stable, but I had outgrown it and my happiness was diminished there. Within 2 1/2 months I was let go from that job for unknown reasons I suspect they hired up for a few projects that fell through but there were some other signs of instability in other ways such as the owner and his wife bringing their marital baggage and fighting into the…

Lost my shit today.

Has anyone just hit a point with a co worker and just absolutely lose their shit on them? I work in dental, in the back clinic working on patients all day. There’s one other assistant who shares the same amount of experience as myself (10+ years) then there’s a new hire, an 18 year old who has the bare minimum experience. He can’t do the long, back breaking appointments because he’s not trained so me and the other girl take on the bulk of the schedule. Day in and day out this gets fucking exhausting having such a small staff and only two people to carry 99% of the workload. Today I asked him to do records on my patient so I wouldn’t have to get stuck uploading photos and what not when I could be starting their appointment. He goes “why?” I say “what do you mean WHY? I…
