wages reduced without notification

[mike1854h]

I HAD BEEN OUT FROM WORK ON WORKERS COMP DUE TO AN INJURY TO MY RIGHT HAND. I AM AN ELECTRICIAN AND WAS A SUPERVISOR ON ONE OF THE COMPANIES TWO TRUCKS. I HAD TWO TO THREE BOYS UNDER ME MOSTLY JUST TWO. THE DOCTOR RELEASED ME BACK ON LITE DUTY. THE DAY I RETURNED TO WORK I WAS PHYSICALLY THREATENED BY THE OTHER SUPERVISOR. I INFORMED MY BOSS, THE OWNER OF THE COMPANY, WHICH HAS 6 EMPLOYEES, THAT I WOULD TAKE THAT DAY OFF AND WOULD RETURN THE NEXT DAY IF HE COULD TAKE CARE OF THAT SITUATION THAT I COULD NOT WORK WHERE I WAS UNDER A THREAT OF PHYSICAL VIOLENCE. HE SAID HE WOULD TRY.HE ALSO INFORMED ME THAT I WAS NO LONGER A SUPERVISOR AND THAT EVERYONE ON THE TRUCK WOULD BE EQUAL BE CAUSE THE OTHER TWO BAYS HAD TOLD HIM THAT ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS I HAD TAKEN THE COMPANY RUCK AND WOULD LEAVE THE JOB SITE FOR 4 OR FIVE HOURS. I HAVE NO DIVER LICENSE AND CAN'T GET ANY THE REST OF MY LIFE DUE TO A BAD SRINKING PROBLEM I HAD. IF I GET CAUGHT DRIVING AGAIN I AM FACING FIVE YEARS IN PRISON I DO NOT EVEN DRIVE A HALF OF A MILE TO THE STORE FROM MY HOUSE IN A VERY RURAL COMMUNITY MY WIFE TAKES ME. I HAVE WORKED FOR THIS MAN FOR OVER THREE YEARS. HI, THE OTHER SUPERVISOR AND MY SELF, I THOUGHT WERE THE BEST OF FREINDS. I SING GOSPEL MUSIC AND SANG AT THE OTHER SUPERVISORS PASTOR APPRECIATION DAY. THAT RIGHT HE IS A PREACHER AND MY BOSS IS OR I THOUGHT HE WAS A GOOD BAPTIST CHRISTIAN. WHEN I CAME BACK TO WORK I WAS PLACED ON THE TRUCK WITH THE OTHER SUPERVISOR. THERE HAS BEEN NO MORE PROBLEMS THERE BUT THE EMPLOYER LOWERED MY HOURLY RATE BY $2.00 AN HOUR, WHICH I FOUND OUT WHEN HE HANDED ME MY CHECK AND I LOOKED AT IT. WHEN I ASKED HIM ABOUT IT HE INFORMED THAT HE DIDN'T HAVE IN A SUPERVISOR POSTION ANY MORE AND I WAS ON LITE DUTY AND THAT HE HAD TAKEN $3.00 AND HOUR BUT WHEN HE SAW I WASN'T AS DIABLED AS WORKERS COMP MADE ME OUT TO BE HE GAVE A $1.00 OF IT BACK. nOW THIS IS FLORIDA I STARTED WITH HIM OVER 3 YEARS AGO AT $10.00 AN HOUR AND AM MAKING $10.50 NOW; SAYS A LOT FOR THREE YEARS. I HAVE NEVER DRIVEN HIS TRUCK ON ANY PUBLIC ROADWAY FOR 5 SECONDS MCH LESS 5 HOURS. YOU CAN BELEIVE AS SOON I GET RELEASED FROM THE DOCTOR COMPLETELY I WILL FIND ME ANOTHER JOB. BUT DO I HVE ANY RECOURSE IN THIS.
