Assualted At Work

[HUSTLER]

Yesterday I was assualted at work, what I would call a push/punch, enough force to knock me backa few feet!

Basically the guy wasnt sacked, so I handed in my resignation today, stating that I feared to work in an unsafe environment.

Just wonderin what you guys think I should do about it, and who I should see.

ANy ideas?

At times like these a cricket bat is your best answer, make sure theres a nail hook in the end of the bat (rusty ones work a treat), drag the bas*ard back after he's down, then give him one from me.

Im with jetute, kick the guys ass mate, good luck.

Before we all get on the band wagon!

What provoked the situation????

Normally an employer will ask you to rethink unless they fell you're a bludger!

Ok first thing is make a formal complaint to the police. In doing this you should also advise your employer "former employer" if there were any witnesses get statments and so on.

If the police find there is enough evidence supporting the complaint they will charge and proceed through the courts for assault and whatever other charges they can prove. Now here comes the fun bit but costly. Note to all "Only do this if you are a royal *beep*" because your employer failed to take appropriate action you can sue them in the cival courts as well as sueing the guy that assaulted you.

This is only advise from somebody who has dealt with this several time from both sides. Take this advise at your own risk

I went to the police station that night, they basically said, that generally if there are no physical wounds or injuries or blood wasnt drawn, then there was no point trying to take it to court or even making a complaint. They Said I either lay an offical assualt charge or I dont, and that the full situation will be investigated. So stuff all was done!!!

I am going to get in contact with and report it with the industrial relations commission. Im not in a union but I will still go down the the local chamber of commerce and have it reported and see what happens. I think I will go to the free legal aid on monday as well and see what they think. The last thing I want is for this to cost me money!

I have had to quit as non appropriate action was taken by my employer. He never even bothered to try and contact me out of work hours that day it happend, nor the next day (today) even though I didnt show for work. It would now be impossible to work at the same place as this other guy, and as the other guy was taken to as the favourite and got away with it, I had no choice but to quit.
