Discrimination in the workplace, please help!?

My husband was hired to work weekends, nights and 1 day shift a week. This was to work around his college schedule. Two bosses hired him, females; and promised to work around his college schedule because "school comes first".

A new boss came in, she was just an office assistant up stairs, had no managerial experience whatsoever. My husband had b been working his shift to accomodate his college schedule for close to a year. This new manager came in and decided to change his schedule all around, and without notice. She was constantly writing him up because he was sick ONCE. He also PROIVED A DRS NOTE. She needs to be stopped, everyone is complaining about her. My husband left of course, what can he do?

Unless your husband had an agreement about his work hours in a contract, there isn't much he can do. I was in a similar situation once - made an arrangement with the supervisor, then the supervisor was transferred and suddenly no one knew about the arrangement. This kind of thing will certainly teach you to not trust people.

Nowadays I get everything in writing. Even if something is only agreed on verbally, I send a follow-up e-mail to the person saying, "I understand from our conversation yesterday that blah-blah-blah" so at least I have it in writing that way. I don't know if it would hold up in court but it's more than nothing.

The new manager will be stopped when she ticks off her superiors, not just her subordinates. This will happen, but not in time to save your husband's job or make other people happy. People like this are all too common, in the workplace and elsewhere. They seem to exist to make other peoples' lives a misery. They are so hard to deal with, and my conclusion is that it's best to walk away. There is no changing them, and allowing them into our worlds only pollutes us as well.

Did you husband bother to sit down and talk with the new manager and try to work out an equitable schedule agreement? From what you've written, he ignored her. He's in the wrong on this one.
