approx 4 weeks ago, "x" started a little horseplay while at work. at first it was just verbal, and i just brushed it off, but then turned into physical contact/slapping of the shoulder. then it progressed to tapping the chest with the back of the hand/knuckles. i then verbally told the individual to "knock it off" and he proceeded to hit me with the back of his hand/knuckles in my chest and on the chin. i pushed him off me and then stayed clear of him till the end of the shift.
the following monday morning, i reported the incident to my foreman (who was not present while this was going on). the individual was indefinitly suspended. the union and the company went round and round and now the individual is slated to come back to work following his 30 day suspension.
what legal rights do i have?
