False accusations of alcohol at work
A few weeks ago, I (60f) had low blood sugar incident at work. I was beyond the shaking stage, but I was told I looked high, talking incoherent, slurring my speech, heavy eyes, just not making sense. At some point it clicked in my head that I wasn't feeling well, so went into break room and ate a meatstick and cheese. I was questioned by a coworkrr later in the day if i had partied the night before. Or if i took any drugs that morning. Explained to her that I had low blood sugar.
The next day I went to my former supervisor (he knew my medical background and is an emt) and told him what had happened. Also went to safety guy and he showed me where the glucometer was kept.
I was absent the following Monday and Tuesday. Wednesday I went into work and the fill in supervisor came to me and told me he had 2 write ups for missing work and had 6points. I questioned him about the points so I got union rep and went into his office. Went over points and write ups and HR called him and she took 1 point off because I hadn't gotten any write ups
Went back to my machine and 30 minutes later the union president came out to get me and explained the supervisor said he smelled alcohol on my breath. I agreed to breathalyzer and 5 panel. I was taken on the walk of shame to gather my personal stuff. I was driven to the testing site and blew 0.00 and negative drug test. Went back to work.
Went to my doctor that evening and explained the situation. She gave me a flyer on the signs and symptoms of low blood sugar. So I took it into HR the next day and asked her to make sure all the supervisors got a copy. At this point she said no one knew I was diabetic. I reminded her that in fact someone did. Safety guy knew and 1 of my supervisors did know.
Union at first wanted to drop it but then I was adamant about it. So I filed a grievance stating that the supervisor was harassing, discriminating against me.
So now they want me to drop the grievance, saying it was misunderstanding and told me I should have told everyone I was a diabetic then this would have not happened. The union president and vice president stayed in room with HR. The story changed. Now they are saying the supervisor said that I smelled fruity and that someone was observing me.
At this point I'm not dropping the grievance, but I believe their is more i should do. Any suggestions?
