My jurisdiction is: OREGON
I got laid off on 10/09/08. I worked there for 4 years. I was a Lot Attendent
at a car dealer. The day I got laid off my manager told me I did not have to come back to work anymore and gave me my last pay check and my vacation pay. I asked him why I was getting laid off he replied "they are unable to sell any cars now and it's slow" I didn't understand why they were laying me off because they hired a couple of new employees a few months ago. I believe I was the only one that got laid off.
Today I found an ad for a Lot Attendent on Craigslist, the duties are exactly the same as what I did. Is there anythiing I can do? Is it legal for them to lay me off then post an ad for the same position?
