pls no flames...i think there are some guys trying to hurt my dh. He has been outspoken about his job and how corrupt & unhappy he is and he noticed today that this guy followed him to the gym and looked a bit mafioso and was kind of sizing him up. The guy that followed him didnt't have a gym outfit and didn;t work out, kind of just scoped him out. My dh works as a blue collar and is in a union. He has a big mouth which can get him in trouble sometimes. There are more problems with his job & there are guys from unsavory backgrounds who he works with. Should we go to the police?

np: Yeah, I had a ex-bf stalk me. The police had his name, where he lived, the evidence of notes left by my door and dozens of threatening voicemails. They told me it wasn't enough for a restraining order since he never hit me, etc. [ Reply | More

does he think it is management or the union that's trying to intimidate him? If it's management, he should go to his union rep. The police can't do anything about something like that. In the meantime, he should talk to the management of his gym, people who are not members are not allowed in the gym... [ Reply | More

i'd go to the press. cops can't really help, but if he's got something bog to expose they'll have to get involved and that will increase the risk for anyone trying to hurt him as it's now higher profile. [ Reply | More

seriously. do you people not watch law and order? op should tell her dh to be quiet for time being. this is fairly common in unions; depending on the union, many have legal overseers like special masters of the courts. under the special masters, some may have an ombudsman, but it would make me nervous to speak up [ Reply | More
