How do I know if I wrongfully got written up?
Yesterday on 05/01/2017 I got written
up for insubordination and excessive
absences. I did not agree with any of it
but I did still sing the wright up. My
manager had asked one of the
employees to leave the office so we
could talk but Did not as the other lady
to leave they are mother and
daughter so I felt very uncomfortable
and pressured to sing. I have noticed
some stuff that she wrote out is not all
true. What can I do? I have copies of
everything

There probably isn't much that you can do here. For whatever reason you signed the write-up without being coherced to do so. Additionally, unless you are covered under an employment contract or union agreement, you are an "at will" worker. This means that your company can set the conditions of employment much as it sees fit; this includes when and why to discipline an employee. Accordingly, unless your treatment is the result of some form of legally actionable discrimination, it is legal.
