This involves a County owed nursing home. .
First of all the lady who has run the Central Supply for the past 30 years is in her 50's and is extremely overweight (abt 400 or so pounds). She for some years now has not been able to walk without holding onto something and therefore has not been able to do the physical part of her job in central i.e. moving boxes of supplies, unloading boxes of supplies, taking supplies to the floors etc. Other people have helped her so she wouldn't get in trouble.
Recently the administrator forced a secretary against her will, who has been there for 16 years to start working not only her own job but in central supply, while the other lady just sits on her butt. She, the secretary, has been made to clean the place up, move, lift and stack heavy boxes, climb stools to stack items, move heavy wire racks and such and so on. This secretary is in her forties and not small herself. She has strained her back, is having trouble with her ankles and knees from all the standing and lifting and has ribs out.
Can these people force her to do the job she was hired for plus do a physical job she neither applied for or is capable of doing without health risks to herself?
Thanks...
