What to do about an employer’s illegal actions?
My husband in a restaurant kitchen manager. His boss asked the other 2 managers and my husbands assistant to write letters describing their frustrations and dislikes about my husband. He admitted he did this to “cover” himself in case my husband messes up. My husband only found out because his assistant saved his letter to the company computer which all staff can access. Is that even legal? With all the constant demeaning and ridicule my husband goes through, we believe they’re trying to get him to quit. What should we do in this situation?

From what you have written, the actions by the employer as to the write up requested is not illegal per se under the laws of all states in this country. However, your husband may be working in a hostile work environment where he needs to consult with a labor attorney to discuss what his legal options are and what needs to be done to protect his rights.
