Forced into another position
I have a two fold issue. I was hired in a purchasing position, but due to lay offs and employees quiting they are trying to force me into a warehouse position. I will be in an air conditioned office in the warehouse, but will still be required to do many things in the warehouse where the temperature can be at least a 100. I don't handle the heat well. As a matter of fact, I have gotten ill on many occaision from being in the heat.
Then there is also the idea, that my bosses know that I have a sprained hand, that never heals because I am right handed, and am constantly using that hand. I also have tarsal tunnel in both ankles, which puts me in allot of pain, and I can't be on my feet for more than a few minutes at a time (10 minutes.) But yet this position will have me walking across the plant, numerous times, and also working in the heat, and also, moving boxes, that I can't move with my hand.
Is it legal, just because this is Florida? Is there some help for me here? I have resigned myself to the fact that I will be job hunting shortly.
Thanks.
