My husband was working for a security company as an armed guard. While he was working for them they did not provide him with any type of standard operating procedures (which he asked for several times) and no copy of a contract. When he was preparing to quit one he told the job site he was working for that he was quitting. The owner proceeded to tell him that none of the other guards did their job. They were showing up late, leaving early, and not completing the standard walk around the building. He explained that he had a floating contract with them and that he wanted to fire the company that my husband was working for and hire him as their sole guard. Well, his ex-supervisor showed up at the job site one day when my husband was off and was asking several questions. His boss told him about this and explained to him not to worry about it, it was all taken care of. Well, his ex-supervisor showed up again today, this time my husband was working. He told him he was in violation..
of his contract and that it was a conflict of interest. Then he walked away and started dialing his phone. He came back a little while later and told him that he was on their contract property and that he would have to leave. A little history behind this, his ex-supervisor has an issue with my husband because my husband has much more qualifications than he does and has been worried while he was working there that he would take his position once they found out that he was better qualified. He (my husbands ex-supervisor) was also worried because he is not the best person for the supervisor position and has had issues before because he has not been performing his job to the standard. Also, keep in mind the reason they lost the contract with this place (in his mind) is because of my husband, so this is why he is causing all of these problems with him.

So my question is, what do you think should be done about this? His ex-supervisor is trying to cause trouble with him and it's not...
right. What should my husband do in this situation? Also, I'm not sure if I mentioned before but he never received a copy of any of the contracts that this company has.
He doesn't work for that company any more...and the people he is working for has since cancelled their contract with the previous security company.

If your husband signed a contact saying he cant work for former companies that his ex-company worked for then yes he is in conflict and can be forced to quit and there maybe possible legal action

But, depending on how the current company released the contract. If the contract between the companies specified the above rule, that they can not terminate the contract and then hire an employee. Theres a lot that goes into these things. I would let your husbands current company work it out. Have him find out if they have a lawyer and talk to him about what he should do.

I know with my job as a contracted graphic designer I cant leave my job and work for one of clients as a FT employee for 180 days. And when I signed my contract they gave me a copy of it.

Nothing to do. Your husband does not have a right to get a copy of the contracts the company has with any person or business unless he is a party to the contract. So, if he signed an employment contract, he is entitled to that but he is not entitled to the contract between the property and the security company.

His ex-supervisor may be a jerk, but that does not change anything either.

Soliciting employment with the customer of your employer *is* a conflict of interest and justifies getting fired.
