Quote from greg weinstein:
I called HR as I had a feeling this would get ugly and told them that I no longer felt comfortable discussing this any further w/my mgr. They told me to wait for the assigned HR person to get back to me b4 going into this meeting. I call HR again minutes b4 the meeting was to begin and ask them flat out, what do I do, this person hasn't gotten back to me, it's a hot issue.. do I take this meeting or not??? HR tells me, again, to wait for the assigned HR rep to call me back b4 I do anything. So I sit back and don't take the meeting...BOOM, insubordination write up!

Just think, if you had written HR via email each time (and copied your personal email or printed them), you might have some proof. Haven't you ever heard of a paper trail? Why do you depend on "phone calls"?
