    telling all about me

    No, there is not. You did what they say you did. There is no law that prevented the GM from telling other employees why you were fired, as long as it was the truth. You can't stop people from telling the truth.

    Wrongful Termination - Drug Testing.

    Being granted unemployment does not mean you were wrongfully terminated under the law.

    Employee abuse/ abuse of power.

    Throwing things at you (depending on what they are) MAY be attempted assault. For example, if it was a few papers, that would not be; if it were a chair, it would be. Other than that, none of what you mention is illegal. Unprofessional and rude and uncomfortable working conditions, yes...

    Term letter AND put on Leave w/o pay

    Yes, you can file for unemployment. Whether or not you will be granted benefits is up to the state. Expect the employer to protest, however.

    Should I Request a Hearing?

    If you have a witness who will testify to the final incident, I guess you would have nothing to lose by filing an appeal.

    Laid Off due to Illness

    Well, the EEOC is not part of the Dept of Labor. Alleged FMLA violations are handled by the DOL. The EEOC handles discrimination complaints. Secondly, the window for filing a complaint with the federal EEOC is LONG past. Such claim must be filed within 180 days (extended to 300 days if...

    Terminated, unemployment told I quit!

    What are you going to "pursue" other than an unemployment appeal? No law was violated in your termination.

    Docking Pay

    Don't know why you posted the same thing twice. 1. This is not even CLOSE to harrassment. The employer has asked you ONCE. How can other employees be NOT called in twice? That statement doesn't make any sense. 2. The employer CAN refuse to let you take any vacation, whether you have...

    can i do this??

    What does the company say when you call and say you want to come in and retrieve your tools? Since you said "worked", I'm assuming that means you are terminated. Why do you still have a key?

    Vacation Pay

    That's exactly what I'm telling you is a possibility. "You earn XX vacation per year, accrued monthly (or per pay period or whatever) and you may take paid vacation as it is earned with management approval" is not the same as "we will pay any accrued, untaken vacation at termination under any...

    Vacation Pay

    Looks like the OP isn't coming back anyway, so you believe what you like. I can just tell you that there is plenty of anecdotal evidence out there where a company policy or offer letter or employee handbook has been determineded by a court of law NOT to rise to the level of an enforceable...
