Is it legal if the company that I work for wrote another employee up and quoted me without my permission and put my name in the write-up? I was asked to give a written statement and said I didnt want to and I wanted the matter dropped.
The employee and I had a disagreement about something and I mentioned it to my supervisor and another colleague. It was no big issue and we worked it out and were fine. Almost a month later she called and asked me for. Written statement and I refused and stated that I’d rather not and wanted to let it go. Then 4 days later they wrote him up and used the term aggressive which I never used and then quoted me and included my name in the write-up

Unless this action somehow violated the terms of an employment contract or union agreement, then it was legal. In an "at will" work relationship, a company can set the conditions of the worklace much as it sees fit (absent any form of legally actionable discrimination). Accordingly, you have no claim here.
