QUESTION
What type of lawyer do I need for to fight disciplinary actions at work with a union involved?
Asked on Jan 28th, 2019 on Labor and Employment - Pennsylvania
More details to this question:
I was assaulted by an inmate at work and of course I had to use physical force, and O.C. spray to secure the inmate. I'm being disciplined for my actions and I'm looking at a 3 day suspension. What are my rights and what can I do? Am I able to receive punitive damages? How do I gain my respect from upper management again?

Why is your union not involved in this matter on your behalf to assist? I don't think it'll make sense to "sue" over a 3 day suspension in any event and no, it is extremely unlikely that you'd be awarded punitive damages in the unlikely event that this matter results in litigation.
