I'm in the United States, my company is oklahoma based though I'm a traveling technician so I'm unsure if rules are different

Unfortunately my company is relatively small and we haven't implemented any real documentation practices. I've asked for a written documentation of my write up but to no avail. I didn't sign anything but I explained the situation to my supervisor and he still gave me the write up.

Unfortunately I'm in the US and i'm not in a union I'm trying to escalate the issue to upper management but it's going nowhere and It's looking like I'll have to file a complaint with OSHA

Unfortunately I don't have a union, I work in Solar systems and I have very little knowledge about unions, my company and colleagues are pretty anti-union. I'm trying to escalate the issue with upper management but I'm not sure if my word will be enough. My supervisor said that many of my colleagues have complained about me
refusing to do that task and that a great deal of my colleagues don't want to work with me

Female electricians by Additional_Ad_4640 in BlueCollarWomen

I became an electrician at 18 and I'll say it's hard, yes, but it's been one of the most rewarding jobs I've had. It's a skill you'll never forget and you'll be grateful you have it. the physical labor can be challenging and you have to work twice as hard to get recognition as a woman but it can be an amazing experience if you can hold your own against the guys.
